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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Whenever any jailer, peace officer or health officer takes or receives any money or other valuables from any prisoner or person in custody for safekeeping or for other purposes, the officer or jailer receiving such valuables or money forthwith shall tender one of duplicate receipts for the property being surrendered to the prisoner or person in custody. If possible, the prisoner or person in custody shall countersign both the original and duplicate receipts. If the prisoner or person is unable to sign the receipts or receive the duplicate thereof, the same shall be signed by and delivered to the prisoner or person when reasonably possible. A file of the original receipts shall be kept for at least six months after the money or valuables have been returned to the prisoner, his agent or representative or other person entitled to the same.”
