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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Conceding the right of plaintiff to recover, the defendant lastly insists that he is entitled to set off the $13,741.12 which he paid to the Sioux National Bank on his guaranty contract. The term ‘mutual debits and credits’ in the bankruptcy law does not include a claim like the one involved here. Lytle received these funds in violation of a trust, and cannot in that way obtain a preference. The manner in which he obtained these assets precludes him from setting up that they were obtained under contract with the corporation. The amount which he paid on his guaranty is entitled to share ratably in the assets of the corporation, but cannot be used as a set-off in this case.””
