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.
““That trustees shall * * * collect and reduce to money the property of the estate for which they are trustees, under the direction of the court, and close up the estate as expeditiously as is compatible with the best interests of the parties in interest; and such trustees, as to all property in the custody •or coming into the custody of the bankruptcy court, shall be deemed vested with all the rights, remedies, and powers of a creditor holding a lien by legal or equitable proceedings thereon; and also, as to all property not in the custody of the bankruptcy court, shall be deemed vested with all the rights, remedies, and powers of a judgment creditor holding an execution duly returned unsatisfied.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The effect of the amendment of 1910 is to place the trustee, so far as his right to attack the validity of the instrument in question is concerned, in the same position as a judgment creditor and to invest him with the same, rights. As the conditional bill of sale would, under the state law, be void as against a judgment creditor, it is likewise void as against the trustee.””
