The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““* * * Any injury to the interests of heirs, beneficiaries or creditors of the decedent arising through a diminution of the assets of the estate, even though not aggrieving the administrator personally, in legal effect is a grievance affecting him in his fiduciary and representative capacity within the meaning of the appeal statute. This is clearly determined in the case of Denison v. Jerome, 43 Colo. 456 , 96 Pac. 166 , where we expressly upheld the right of an administrator to appeal to the district court from a judgment of the county court allowing a claim against the estate which he so represented, and our pronouncements therein conclude the question under consideration adversely to the contentions of plaintiff in error.””
