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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The act under which the proceedings were instituted does not purport to make the proceedings ,of the probate court conclusive upon anybody. They are not binding even upon the relator. The petitioner, or other person interested, if not satisfied with the findings, might, in any judicial proceeding, resort to original evidence, and wholly ignore the action” of the probate court. The proceeding simply makes evidence, and any common-law jury could overturn it in any other proceeding.””
