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. ““While the evidence leaves no shadow of a doubt that the bankrupt had goods of that value ($19,722.98) for which he has not accounted, or has converted into money, and that at one time he had them under his control, I do not think the proof sustains the referee in the finding that at the time of the order, or at the time of his examination, the bankrupt still had in his possession, or under his control, either the goods or the money. After a very diligent investigation of his affairs, no.proof is offered showing the disposition of any specific goods, or tracing to him the possession of any considerable sum of money, or other evidence offered of such conduct as indicates that he now has any of the goods, or money derived from their conversion, in his possession or under his control.””
