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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In this estate the total amount realized was $5,222.50. The bankrupt property was sold by the receiver at public sale. The trustee had nothing to -do but distribute the money. The business was not conducted by the receiver and there was nothing which required legal services, beyond ordinary administration. The matter was expeditiously disposed of and the goods brought more than the appraised value at the sale. “The attorney for the bankrupt will be allowed a fee of $100. The attorney for the trustee and receiver will be allowed a fee of $300.””
