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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““ A claimant in an action against an administrator, upon a claim or demand against the estate of the deceased, cannot prevail unless he proves his case by some competent or satisfactory evidence other than the testimony of himself. His testimony may be used in addition to the other corroborative evidence, if snch other evidence is of sufficient strength to support a verdict or decree. Or otherwise expressed, having laid a foundation for a recovery by producing evidence upon the strength of which a court may render a decree, or a jury a verdict, in favor of claimant, the claimant may then buttress and re-enforce his case by his own evidence so as to produce a preponderance of evidence.” Uhler v. Harbaugh, Admr., 110 Or. 609, 616 , ( 224 Pac. 89 ).”
