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 record discloses no request on the part of the petitioner to be admitted to bail, and since he was brought before the justice of the peace on a warrant, regularly issued, and the proceedings before such justice were void, the petitioner is in exactly the position of one who has failed or refused to enter into a recognizance for his appearance. He was properly committed to jail, not under a valid sentence, but for failure to enter into a recognizance for his appearance. Under the circumstances, he is entitled to a trial and is entitled to give bond for his appearance at any reasonable time which may be fixed by the justice of the peace for his trial.” (p. 916.)”
