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.
“We conclude that the oral contract set out in the petition of the plaintiff was such as, if successfully established, would nullify the effect of the will and was therefore a contest of the will in question , and the action was barred by the statute of limitations as to contests of wills, and the fact that it only affected one-third of the property of the deceased would not make it any the less a contest of the will.”
