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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The same authorities and argument which tend to show that the case is not affected by the statute of nonclaim also show that no affidavit of nonpayment and justness is necessary. Those sections of our administration laws which relate to authentication before .suit brought refer alone to suits against executors and administrators, as such, to subject the general assets to the payment of debts. In the case at bar the administrator is only a necessary party because the real estate is in his possession.””
