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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has been frequently decided that, in case a succession has been fully administered by a testamentary executor, tutor, curator, or administrator, and the heirs all of whom are majors, have come into the possession of the residuum, as an inheritance, or the same has been' unconditionally accepted by them, the probate jurisdiction over the property ceases, and the eoproprietorship of such heirs supervenes.””
