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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * after said consolidation no officer or agency of said county or of said municipal corporation shall retain any right, power, duty or obligation unless this .chapter or the charter of the metropolitan government shall expressly so provide, or unless such retention and continuation be required by the Constitution of Tennessee. the duties and functions of the county trustee were likewise changed (Robinson v. Briley, 213 Tenn. 418 , 374 S.W.2d 382 ), and some of the duties of the sheriff were transferred to the chief of police; but none of these offices was abolished, and even the incumbents were continued in office.”
