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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The plain intention of the statutes referred to is that the acts of the administrator shall be subject to full and! complete examination and determination upon final settlement. . . . The heirs, on the other hand, had a right to await final settlement and make such claims then against the administrator as they might have because of his acts in the management of the estate. “. . . That this was the intention of the legislature is evident from the provisions of G. S. 1935, 60-3823, which provides that: “‘Until the legislature shall otherwise provide, this code shall not affect . . . proceedings under the statutes for the settlement of estates of deceased persons.’” (pp. 149-151.)”
