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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Those legacies which are particular and not residuary and are now lapsed, have fallen into the residue and are disposed of by the residuary clause. The shares in the residue which were bequeathed but lapsed by reason of the deaths of the legatees are to be disposed of by the executor as on the intestacy of the testatrix. Of course if the residuary legatees had been given a joint interest, or had been treated by the testatrix as a class, a different result might ensue. But there is no room to contend that such is the case.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The questions presented by the amended bill concern the disposition to be made of lapsed legacies. Some of the legacies given to particular individuals have lapsed by reason of the death of the legatees in the lifetime of the testatrix, and two of the legacies given by the general residuary clause have lapsed for the same reason.””
