Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘‘It was objected to this that the bankrupt was not put upon notice as to what he was charged with, whether it was destroying books of account, concealing the same, or failing to keep such books. I am inclined to think the referee ruled correctly on this question — that this was sufficient. If the trustee in bankruptcy is- unable to find proper books of account In a bankrupt’s place of business, be cannot tell whether they have been destroyed or concealed, or whether the bankrupt has never had such books of account, and has' therefore failed to keep them; So that, as the burden is on the objecting creditor to make out a case, if the bankrupt has ample opportunity to meet the evidence submitted, no harm is done the bankrupt by using this language in the objection, and he would have no just cause for complaint.””
