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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““No account is given of what disposition was made of tlie $2,000, which it is said was received in bills, except that they were paid out, or deposited. There is no corresponding deposit in the bank hook. In several details of his testimony the bankrupt’s evidence was inconsistent and contradictory, and was in some particulars proved to he false. The referee considered it incredible that the bankrupt was as ignorant of his business and his payments as he professed to be, and he did not consider him worthy of belief. No special losses, and no special causes of loss in business, were intimated by the bankrupt in his testimony.” In re Schlesinger (D. C.) 97 Fed. 930 .”
