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.
““That all levies, judgments, attachments, or other liens, obtained through legal proceedings against a person who is ■insolvent, at any time within four months prior to ihe filing of a petition in bankruptcy against him, shall be deemed null and void in case he is adjudged a bankrupt, and the property affected by the levy, judgment, attachment, or other lien shall be deemed wholly discharged and released from the same, and shall pass to the trustee as a part of the estate of the bankrupt, unless the court shall, on due notice, order that.the right under such levy, judgment, attachment, or other lien shall be preserved for the benefit of the estate; and thereupon the same may pass to and shall be preserved by the trustee for the benefit of the estate as aforesaid.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. In re Kemp · Duncan v. Landis““But subdivision T is broader in its scope, and avoids all liens obtained through legal proceedings within the time stated against a person who is insolvent, within the meaning of the subdivision, irrespective of knowledge on the part of the creditor of the fact of insolvency, and irrespective of the question whether the obtaining of the lien was in any way suffered a,nd permitted by the debtor. It avoids all liens obtained through legal proceedings against a person who is insolvent within four months before the filing of the petition.” Page 939, 96 Fed., and page 637, 37 C. G. A.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Bear v. Chase · Cook v. Robinson““When we meet with a seeming repugnáncy in the terms, conjectures are necessary to work out the genuine sense, by reconciling it if possible, to those terms that seem to be repugnant. But if there be a clear, evident repugnancy, the latter vacates the former.” Pot. Dwar. Stat 132.”
