The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““The first question presented is: Was the circuit court limited in its hearing to the reasons stated in the petition for an appeal? In 1 Chatterton on Probate Law, § 1499, it is said: ‘ The notice of appeal must be in writing, containing the reasons for appeal, and filed with the judge of probate. All of the reasons upon which the appellant relies must be stated therein, as the trial in the circuit court will be restricted to the reasons assigned.’ “This we understand to be the rule.””
