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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Tlie amendment, of Bankr. Act July 1, 1898, c. 541, § 47a<2), 30 Stat. 557 (U. S. Comp. St. 3901, p. 3188), by Act June 25, 3910, c. 412, § 8, 36 Stat. 840 (U. S. Comp. St. Supp. 3913., p. 35C0), providing that as to all property not in the possession of tlie bankruptcy court a trustee shall be deemed vested with all the rights, remedies, and powers of a judgment creditor holding an execution duly returned unsatisfied, qualifies a trustee to maintain a suit under the New York law to reach surplus revenue to which tlie bankrupt will be entitled under a testamentary trust for the benefit of all the creditors; and since such right will be unaffected by the bankrupt’s discharge, a judgment creditor is not entitled to an order postponing such discharge to enable him to prosecute such a suit for the benefit of judgment creditors only.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In re Reynolds““That circumstance, however, is immaterial. The act must be interpreted as a whole, and all its parts harmonized. It cannot be assumed that Congress would have added this amendment to section 47, if the unamended language of section 70 were to operate to neutralize tlie amendment.””
