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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is the recognized rule of the courts of bankruptcy that, on review of the decision of a referee based upon his conclusions on questions of fact, the court will not reverse his findings, unless the same are so manifestly erroneous as to invoke the sense of justice of the court — [citing and quoting from authorities]. “The contention of the claimant is that he, having filed his claim properly verified, made out his case, and that he should have been allowed his entire claim. It is true that the claimant filed a formal proof of claim against the bankrupt estate, and it is also true that this proof of claim is prima facie evidence that the allegations made therein are correct, and this prima facie evidence must prevail until it shall be properly and successfully attacked — [citing and quoting from authorities]. In the case at bar the claimant, though present at the hearing, did not testify, but the bankrupt did testify in behalf of the claimant. The referee had the opportunity to see and hear him and observe his manner while testifying, which is an advantage of great value in cases of this character. This witness’ testimony is in some material respects vague and uncertain, if not evasive. He stated that he borrowed $15,000 from the claimant at divers times and in divers amounts from January, 1907, to April, 1908, but that he did not remember the specific dates or months in which he obtained the money, nor did he remember the specific amount he got each time or at any one time”
