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.

1. ““A different conclusion has been reached in the Sixth circuit (Loeser v. Savings Dep. Bank, 148 Fed. 975 [ 78 C. C. A. 597 , 18 L. R. A. (N. S.) 1233 ]; Carey v. Donohue, 209 Fed. 328 [ 126 C. C. A. 254 ]), in the Seventh circuit (In re Beckhaus, 177 Fed. 141 [ 100 C. C. A. 561 ]), and in the Eighth circuit (Mattley v. Giesler, 187 Fed. 970 [ 110 C. C. A. 90 ]). If this were a mere point of practice, we should follow the weight of authority in Circuit Courts of Appeal; but it involves a question of substantive law, and, in the absence of controlling authority, the petitioner is entitled to our own opinion. It would seem desirable that the question be brought before the Supreme Court.””
