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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(a.) The United States circuit court shall have jurisdiction of all controversies at law and in equity as distinguished from proceedings in bankruptcy between trustees as such, and adverse claimants concerning the property acquired or claimed by the trustee, in the same manner, and to the came extent only, as though bankruptcy proceedings had not been instituted and such controversy had been between the bankrupt and such adverse claimants, (b) Suits by the trustee shall only be brought or prosecuted in the courts where the bankrupt whose estate is being administered by such trustee, might have brought -or prosecuted them, if proceedings in bankruptcy had not been instituted, unless by consent of the proposed defendant.””
