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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Now, the act does not except debts belonging to creditors whose post office address has not been correctly stated in the schedule. It excepts only those which have not been ‘duly scheduled in time for proof and allowance, with the name of the creditor, if known to the bankrupt.’ Now, this debt was scheduled with the name of the creditor. His address was not correctly given, but the act does not make the discharge of no effect for such a failure. Besides, it is not alleged or shown that the bankrupt knew the address of the creditor, or that the failure to give his correct address was intentional or fraudulent.””
