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 orphans’ court is invested with complete and general jurisdiction over the matters which are specially given it in charge by the statute (Pyatt v. Pyatt, 1 Dick. Ch. Rep. 285), among which, is the accounting of executors and administrators. Its action upon an account, duly advertised, is binding upon all persons in interest, and therefore those persons should be heard before the account is allowed. It follows, as a necessary incident to the exercise of this jurisdiction, that the court shall possess the power to determine who the parties in interest are.” (p. 261.)”
