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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * district courts of this state are the courts to which probate appeals are taken from the county court. The county court had original jurisdiction in probate matters, and, when a cause is appealed from the county court to the district court, the case is tried de novo, and trial de novo does not mean that new •issues may be presented for the first time -in the appellate court, but that the case ■must be tried in the district court upon the issues made by the litigants in the county •court. The litigants must state their issues in the county court, and such issues as are not raised in the county court cannot be raised by new pleadings in the district court.””
