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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the brother was willing to assume whatever physical risks were incident to the administration, the orphans’ court had no duty nor power to deny him his legal rights because the orphans’ court may not have thought he was acting prudently. “If, after his appointment, the administrator should fail in the performance of his duty as administrator, the orphans’ court has ample power to remove him, and his bond gives full protection to the distributees and all other parties in interest.””
