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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * Apparently the right of appeal is held to exist in such instances upon the theory that the appeal is not from the annual or partial settlement as such, but from the order overruling the exceptions filed, and therefore within the contemplation of Section 2100, R.S.Mo.1939, Mo.R.S.A. § 2100, which invests the circuit court with appellate jurisdiction from the judgments and orders of the probate court in all cases not expressly prohibited by law. “If the Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs has the right of appeal from an order of the probate court overruling his exceptions to allowances claimed by the guardian of an insane ward in an annual or partial settlement, then by the same token (if not, in fact, by more compelling reasoning) the guardian should have the right of appeal where the probate court sustains the exceptions and surcharges his accounts with the amount of the items disallowed. The appeal in question was from such an order; and the controlling precedents support the conclusion that it was properly allowed.””
