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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Here the administratrix certainly did not expect to remain at MeGraw’s office; and it seems necessary to hold either that such a presentation is- good in her absence, or that such a notice is void. We think it must be held that such a presentation is good. We see no point in the suggestion that the claim was left with the clerk. The Code requires that it be presented to the administrator, and does not authorize the attorney to act for him. It follows, also, that it must be held that the claim was presented when left at the office. It is important for the claimant to know when the claim was presented and to be able to prove such fact. The administrator cannot prejudice the claimants by requiring claims to be left with his attorney, to be by him presented at his convenience, or not at all. ’ ’”
