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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The claims of the executor in his final report for credits against the estate are in the nature of separate complaints or allowances, and the exceptions to them, or any one of them, placed the burden on him, and he was required, to establish the correctness of his report in respect to such matters as were embraced in the exceptions filed. [citation omitted]. He is regarded as the plaintiff, and the exceptors as the defendants.”
