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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]e do not think that such issues were proper. It is for the Orphans’ Court to determine, what fee shall be allowed the attorneys who represented the executors, and it is not a proper subject for issues. The Orphans’ Court is bound by the finding of a jury on issues properly framed and transmitted to a Court of law, and therefore, if the allowance of fees is a proper subject for the consideration of a jury, it, and not the Court, would determine that question.”
