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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““And, so long as the allotments and trust property remained under the administrative control of the Secretary of the Interior, he had exclusive -jurisdiction to reconsider and inquire into and set aside the approval of the will. Such right of review is the very essence of administrative authority. (Citing cases). And until the administrative control of the Secretary over the allotments and the trust property has ceased, the courts are without power to interfere with the performance by the Secretary of his administrative functions with respect thereto.” ( 113 F.2d 790 ).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““It will be observed that under 25 U.S. C.A. § 373, supra, the death of Beniamin and the approval of the will did not free the allotments from restrictions, nor terminate the trust respecting the properties held by the Secretary. The three allotments remained restricted and the moneys derived therefrom, both before and subsequently to the death of Benjamin, and the lands conveyed to the Secretary remained subject to the trust, and to administration and control by the Secretary.””
