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.
““Originally the capias ad satisfaciendum lay at common law only in trespass vi et armis. But as statutes were subsequently passed, giving the capias ad respondendum as the mesne process in other cases, the capias ad satisfaciendum was held to follow, as a common law incident. But in no case was the latter allowed without the former, unless'directly authorized by statute.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““By our statute there is no case in which the arrest of the defendant is allowed on mesne process (or the original writ) in an action of replevin; and hence by the common-law rule, no execution can be issued in the action against the body of the defendant.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““there was no authority of law for issuing the writ in question, that it was not merely irregular and voidable, but absolutely void upon its face.””
