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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““For if the trust was created in 1941, our decision in Pew Trust applies ‘that as to . . . inter vivos trusts created prior to the effective date of the Principal and Income Act of 1945 a gift of income or net income included small stock dividends of 6% or less, . . .’411 Pa. at 109, 191 A.2d at 406 . This would result in a stock distribution being apportioned to income.””
