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

1. ““When invoked in a proper manner, this jurisdiction of the county court becomes exclusive, and, unless facts exist which would make its exercise unauthorized under the statute, no other court can assume jurisdiction to make the settlement, partition, and distribution of estates of deceased persons until the time in which such proceeding could be brought in the county court has expired, or, if an administration has been begun in the county court, until the administration is closed.””

2. ““The petition shows no necessity for invoking the equity powers of the court to require an accounting by the trustee, nor does it show any matters in dispute between the parties. . . . It is expressly alleged in the petition that the trustee has rendered an account to the plaintiffs, and the correctness of that account is not questioned, and there is no issue between the parties as to their respective interests in the estate.””
