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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““When the court construed the will, and determined as between the opposing claimants to whom the fund should be rendered, it did exactly what the appellant had asked it to do. As between those claimants the decision may have been erroneous; but, if so, the error did not and could not affect the appellant. He was merely a disinterested holder of the fund, the right to which was in dispute between others.””
