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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The probate court does not have jurisdiction to consider an application to discharge a lunatic whose lunacy has been adjudged as a pertinent incident to a criminal prosecution and who is incarcerated in the state asylum for the dangerous insane by virtue of such judgment. The statute reads [quoting statute now appearing as R. S. 62-1532], But .the petitioner was not committed to the state asylum for the dangerous insane under the section of statute just quoted. If he had been so committed, then he could only be discharged, as the state contends, by order of the state board of corrections (or its legal successor) after full hearing and determination of the propriety of his release.” (p. 683.)”
