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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In our opinion, if an administrator or executor actually pays over money of his decedent to a collateral distributee or legatee without retaining therefrom this tax, it becomes, to the extent of the tax, money had and received by him for the use of the state, and an action like the present may be maintained against such distributee or legatee therefor” — citing Mayor, etc., of Baltimore v. Howard, 6 Har. & J. (Md.) 383, and Dashiell v. Mayor, etc., of Baltimore, 45 Md. 615 .”
