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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Tins is a suit to compel the restoration of a trust fund of $20,864.S2 which the appellants unlawfully diverted from that fund, and it involves an accounting of the money diverted between the receiver and the appellants. It is therefore a suit against officers of a bank to execute a trust and to compel an accounting, and it avoids a multiplicity of suits at law. This court has repeatedly held, for reasons which now seem to us obvious, and which are stated at length in our opinions, that equity has jurisdiction of such a suit. Hayden v. Thompson, 36 U. S. App. 362, 307, 17 C. C. A. 592 , 594. and 71 Fed. 60 , 62; Cockrill v. Cooper, 57 U. S. App. 576, 29 C. C. A. 529 , 535, 538, and 86 Fed. 7 , 12, 16.””
