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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is true, as insisted by appellant, that in order to constitute a taking such as will support a charge of larceny, it must have been tortiously done — that is, it must be a trespass against the owner’s possession, a taking without his consent (Dozier v. State, 130 Ala. 57 , 30 So. 396 ); yet where his consent, or the consent of the person holding for him, is procured by means of fraud or a trick, practiced by the taker with the intent to steal, the taking is sufficient within the definition of larceny (18 Am. & Eng. Ency. Law [2d Ed.] 496, 473).””
