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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The purpose of the provision was, specifically, to forestall abatement of the second trial on a plea of former jeopardy, and generally, to render inoperative for any purpose anything done or occurring at the first trial. The provision has no reference to the power of the court during the term over the work of the term, and contemplates those orders granting new trials which ultimately become final orders on the subject.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““The plenary power of the court during the term over its orders and judgments is too well established to need buttressing by authority. The quality of finality is always conditioned by the possible exercise of this power, and the court may freely return to the proceedings, and correct, revise, amend, or annul them. ’ ’”
