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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Claims shall be filed within six (6) months from the first publication. Claims not filed within six (6) months from the publication shall be barred; Provided, That a creditor who, by reason of accident, mistake or any other cause, has failed to file his claim, may, at any time, before the distribution of the estate, petition the probate court for leave to file his claim, and the probate court, after notice to the executor or administrator of the estate and a hearing on the petition, may in its discretion, grant leave to file such claim upon such terms, if any, as the court shall prescribe, which claim, if allowed, shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the hands of the executor or administrator at the time of the receipt by him of notice of the pend-ency of such a petition, and there shall be no appeal from an order or decree granting leave to file such claim. From an order or decree denying leave to file such claim an appeal may only be taken to the superior court where it shall be heard de novo and without a jury and neither the rulings of the superior court nor its order or decree shall be reviewable by an appeal or bill of exception.””
