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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are of opinion that the sum awarded by the city of Boston as damages for a portion of the Warren Street estate, taken for public use, must be regarded as real estate for the purposes of the trust. The legal title to the land taken was in the trustees; the taking it by the city cannot change the rights ■of the parties. It is merely a change of the trust securities, and the sum awarded in damages is to he treated as the real estate would he in the place of which it stands. The claim, therefore, that it passed to the administratrix of George, cannot be sustained.””
