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.
“Another reason for modifying the stay in this case is that the plaintiff may have rights against the surety company on the undertaking which was filed. If it appeared that the bankrupt had deposited collateral with the surety company within four months from filing the petition, the situation might be different; but no such showing was made. Where a creditor’s rights against a surety are contingent upon recovery of judgment against the bankrupt, permission to prosecute suit in the state courts to this extent is frequently given.”
