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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In title 25 of the Public Statutes, entitled ‘courts of probate, and estates of deceased persons/ the words ‘judge’ and ‘judge of probate’ are constantly used when it is apparent the probate court is intended. For example, chapter 182, Public Statutes, is entitled ‘judges of probate and their jurisdiction.’ It is a matter of common knowledge that when a person attending to probate business or considering probate matters speaks of referring anything to the judge of probate, he usually intends the probate court and not the person who exercises the function of that office.””
