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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““By stipulation filed it is agreed that the sole question to be determined is whether the curator’s.deed is valid. There can be no hesitation on this point; it is a plain matter of statutory provision. Sections 28, 29 and 30, page 469, General Statutes 1865, control this case. “The last-named section declares: ‘No real estate of any minor, sold under the provisions of this chapter, shall be sold for less than three-fourths of its appraised value, ’ etc. The probate court had no jurisdiction to approve such a sale. Its order of approval was, therefore, coram non judice, and the deed showing the facts already recited was void on its face.””
