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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Orphans’ Courts of the State exercise only a special, limited jurisdiction, which they cannot transcend, and within a just and reasonable construction of its statutory powers, we do not find anywhere that it is clothed with jurisdiction to try questions of title to personalty. Levering v. Levering, 64 Md. 410 ; Blumenthal v. Moitz, 76 Md. 566. We think such has been the well-recognized practice in this State for many years, and the one we think entitled to our sanction.”
