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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The phrase [the jurisdiction pertaining to probate courts] has no legal definition. Courts of probate had no existence at common law. * * * Under the provisional government of Oregon, up to the time of the adoption of the constitution, the appointment of guardians for minors and for insane persons was a part of the jurisdiction pertaining to probate courts.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Ex parte Emma““ * * * If it was a court of general jurisdiction, its jurisdiction is presumed, and its record ‘imports absolute verity, and cannot therefore be collaterally impeached from without’ (Hahn v. Kelly, 24 Cal. 402 ), and ‘when the record is silent as to what was done, it will be presumed that what ought to have been done was not only done, but rightly done.’ ””
