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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is contended that the sale of the real estate is void because at the time the probate court made the order of sale there were no debts established or allowed against the estate of the deceased. There is no provision of our law which provides or requires that debts shall be allowed against the estate by the probate court before lands may be ordered sold. The law is that when the administrator ascertains that the personal property will not be sufficient to pay the debts he may petition the court to sell the real estate. (Gen. Stat. 1901, §2919.)” (p. 255.)”
