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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * although there was no specific direction for the accumulation of income to increase the corpus of the fund, such income when not otherwise disposed of would fall into the residuary estate and be distributable as a part of the corpus at the termination of the trust among those who were entitled under the will to share in the corpus. In other words, that the fact of the failure of the testator to make any specific disposition thereof would not produce an intestacy.””
