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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The proceeding while not strictly a proceeding in rem,. has many of its characteristics; yet the statute does not direct a seizure of the thing, which, in some cases, has been held necessary to support a judgment strictly in rem. It applies to personalty, as well as realty. The mere institution of-the proceeding creates no presumption that there is no one capable of taking the estate under the rules regulating the descent of estates of deceased persons; the presumption is to the contrary; and the effect of the judgment, if rendered after all persons interested in the estate are notified of the pendency and purpose of the proceeding, in the only manner in which they can be, if unknown, is to destroy that presumption, and to make the title of the state clear.””

XIII, Sec. 1.”
