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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * ft is clearly evident that the two sureties above named would be directly and -vitally affected by any judgment rendered herein pertaining to the order- appointing Mrs. Kidd guardian. They are therefore necessary par ties to this suit if it is to be classed as a direct attack. Since such sureties are not parties, we can only consider this case as a collateral attack on the order appointing the guardian. Considering the case as a collateral attack, the failure to give the more formal notice provided by article 4114 cannot be shown.””
