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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“'A residuary legacy embraces only that which remains after all the (other) bequests of the will are discharged.' (Civ. Code, 1357.) There can be but one such residuum, and in the codicil containing the legacy to appellant, the testator mentions the gift of such residuum to Mrs. Auzerais after all the gifts in the will are fulfilled. This is the residuary legacy, and the only one provided for in the will.”
