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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The power of taking and surrendering is not exercised under any judicial process, but results from the nature of the undertaking by the bail. The bail-piece is not a process, nor anything in the nature of it, but is merely a record or memorial of the delivery of the principal to his bail on surety given. It cannot be questioned but that bail in the common pleas would have a right to go into any other county in the State to take his principal; this shows that the jurisdiction of the court in no way controls the authority of the bail, and as little can the jurisdiction of the State affect this right as between the bail and his principal.”
