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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That a petition for annulment addressed to the Supreme Court of Probate is not a proper remedy, assuming an error, is apparent. That Court has no original jurisdiction. R.S.1944, Chap. 140, Sec. 32, provides that the: ‘superior court is the supreme court of probate, and has appellate jurisdiction in all matters determinable by the several judges of probate.’ “It has an appellate jurisdiction and nothing more. This has been noted in decisions over a long period of years.””
