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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When dealing with a trust, the general rule in suits, respecting the trust property, brought either by or against the trustees, the . . . beneficiaries as well as the trustees also, are necessary parties. And when the suit is by or against the . . . beneficiaries, the trustees are also necessary parties; and trustees have the legal interest, and, therefore, they are necessary parties;... beneficiaries, have the equitable and ultimate interest, to be affected by the decree, and, therefore, they are necessary parties[.]”
