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

1. ““Sec. 18. If the intestate leaves no issue, the whole of his estate shall go to his wife, and if he leaves no wife nor issue, the whole shall go to his father. “Sec. 19. If his father be previously dead, the portion which would have fallen to his share by the above rules, shall be disposed of in the same manner as though he had outlived the intestate and died in the possession and ownership of the portion thus falling to his share and so on through each ascending ancestor and his issue, unless heirs are sooner found. “Sec. 20. If heirs are not found in the male line, the portion thus uninherited shall go to the mother' of -the intestate and to her heirs, following the same rules as above prescribed.” “Sec. 22. If, still, there be property remaining uninherited, it shall be escheat to the Territory.””
