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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The real estate of the intestate descended at once to his heirs, and the title thereof was vested in them subject only to the right of the administrator to sell the same for the payment of the debts in the manner prescribed by law. (Reading v. Wier, 29 Kan. 429 .) So the title to the real estate, which the heirs took by descent, entitled them to the possession of it, and they had the right to receive, as against the administrator, all the rents and profits thereof.” (p. 619.)”
