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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is 'shown by the record that certain transfers of property by tb© bankrupts were made, which the petitioning creditors insisted were fraudulent, and certain other frauds are asserted, which need not be detailed, and that knowledge of these fraudulent transactions was not possessed by the petitioning creditors prior to the 1st day of November, 1898, when this petition was presented; that their claims were filed under the assignment' in ignorance of these alleged fraudulent transactions. Under the circumstances, and in view of the fact that no legal detriment has resulted to any one from the filing of claims under the assignment, we are of opinion that the petitioning creditors are not precluded by the mere fact of filing their claims with the assignee from selecting another forum, in which, as they think, their rights as against supposed fraudulent transactions may be the better protected.” ■”
