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.
““It may be admitted, that the justice of the peace had no authority under the statute to impose on the recognizors the superadded condition, but it does not follow, that, thereby, the recognizance becomes void; it is merely inoperative as to the condition unauthorized by the statute and in its legal effect is precisely as if the additional words of condition were omitted.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Where ... the condition is to answer an accusation and not to depart until he shall be discharged by the court, ... a refusal to appear to a second indictment after a nolle prosequi on the first, after personal notice is a forfeiture of the recognizance.””
