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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““During the continuance of an annuity, in the absence of some provision indicating a contrary intent, any arrearages in its payment, because of insufficient income in any year, can usually be made up from surplus income in subsequent years. * * * But that rule does not apply if the language of the will indicates that each year is intended to stand alone as a separate income period and any surplus at its close is clearly appropriated to other purposes.””
