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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Alabama statutes do not contemplate that the claim for a homestead by the widow and minor children must be filed as a claim against the estate. ' To be a claim against the estate, there must be the relation of debtor and creditor ; and we are not aware of any conceivable case in which the claims of heirs and legatees to the estate, or parts of it, can be called claims against the estate.' Harrison's Adm'r v. Harrison's Distributees , 39 Ala. 489 , 496 [ (1864) ]."”
