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

And be it further provided, that the provisions of this act shall not apply' where the father of the illegitimate child, at his ' death, had surviving legitimate children or descendants of legitimate children.” (Our emphasis).”
