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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellant contends that the petitioner was not a ‘person interested in the estate’ mentioned in G. S. 1947 Supp. 59-2221. The point is not well taken. That section does not define who may be a person interested in an estate. . . .” (1. c. 319.)”
