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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “•‘Under these circumstances, is the finding and order of the referee conclusive upon both the bankrupt and this court, and is the duty of this court in the premises merely formal and ministerial, or is it the duty of this court to make an independent investigation of the facts disclosed by the evidence and to reach an independent conclusion based upon such investigation?””

3. ““To hold that the investigation by this court of respondent’s guilt, or innocence, must begin where that of the referee terminates, is to deprive this court of the discretion vested in it by law, and to confer upon the referee the power to do indirectly that which he cannot do directly””
