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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court of sessions is a court of general jurisdiction, and all things are presumed as to the regularity of the proceedings. We must therefore presume that when the clerk read the writing on the indictment he asked the jury, ‘And this is your verdict, so say ye all.’ The case does not show that any juror replied in the negative, or in any way expressed a dissent.””
