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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But the charge as stated insufficient though it may be, is nevertheless sufficient to indicate that probable cause may exist to believe that the defendant has violated the criminal statute upon which a portion of the stated charge is predicated. “In consideration of the foregoing, the' petitioner should be discharged from custody under the warrant on which he is now held, but committed to the custody of the Sheriff of Wakulla County for further proceedings according to law, to be instituted against him within five days, in default of which he is ordered absolutely discharged from custody. Let judgment be entered accordingly.””
