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 49 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It was not essential to the maintenance of this action that he should first obtain an order to sell the real estate to pay debts. The decree of the court setting aside said conveyance to said appellants, and quieting the title in said administrator, could not be rendered unless proof was made that it was necessary to sell such real estate to pay the debts of said estate. It is only when it is necessary to pay the debts of the estate that an administrator can sustain an action to set aside conveyances of real estate made by his intestate. Such recovery is only allowed for this purpose.” (our italics)”
