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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Notwithstanding the previous entry in the minutes it was disregarded, and he (McGloin) went on to administer and to close the administration with the sanction of the probate court, as though it had not been made. It was disregarded by all parties; and it cannot be now invoked to annul the subsequent orders of the court and his acts thereafter done in the due course of administration, and thereby defeat the title of a bona fide purchaser.”
