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.
““Cases on appeal from the probate court are tried by the circuit court de. novo. The contention of the appellant that the circuit court should have reversed the judgment and remanded the case for a new trial in the probate court cannot therefore be sustained. San. & H. Dig. § 1152.” Grider v. Apperson, 38 Ark. 388 . “The probate court refused to compel the personal representative to make settlement for all the money and property due from the estate of the deceased administrator to the estate of Vital Lesea, but only compelled him to settle for so much of the assets of the estate of Vital Lesea as had come to the hands of such personal representative. It was therefore proper, on the hearing’ de novo on appeal, for the circuit court to make such order as the probate court should have made, the circuit court having on such trial the power of the probate court.””
