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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The words ‘next of kin’ are limited in legal meaning, as in common use, to blood relations, and do not include a husband or a wife, unless accompanied by other words clearly manifesting a purpose to extend their signification; and the mere addition of a reference to the statute of dis? tributions is not sufficient. Withy v. Mangles, 4 Beav. 358, 10 Clark & F. 215; 2 Jarm. Wills, (3d Eng. Ed.) 96.””
