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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The plaintiff in error brought a suit in due season to contest a probated will affecting both real and personal property, and then voluntarily dismissed it. After the expiration of two years from the probating of the will, but within one year from the dismissal of the first suit, he commenced another against the same parties and for the same relief as before. A demurrer was sustained to the petition, on the ground that the right of action was barred because of the expiration of the time limited by the statute of wills within which will contests may be initiated. The question for decision is whether the right to maintain the second suit is preserved by section 23 [now G. S. 1949, 60-311] of the general statute of limitations, . . .” (pp. 590 and 591.)”
