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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While we have examined the record as though it were regularly before us, the occasion seems to us apt to restate the practice applicable to petitions for review of referees’ orders. The proceeding is in substance an appeal from the court of bankruptcy — i.e., the referee — to the District Court... [I]t is made the duty of referees to “make up records embodying the evidence, or the substance thereof, ... together with their findings therein, and transmit them to the judges.” General Order XXVII requires the referee to “certify to the judge the question presented, a summary of the evidence relating thereto, and the finding and order of the referee thereon.” When the petition to review is lodged with the referee, it becomes his duty to prepare and certify his return as above prescribed, and to it alone the District Court should look in disposing of the petition.”
