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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[T]he demurrer was properly sustained, for the reason that the indictment did not purport to charge the defendant by his true name, but it, in legal effect, alleged that his true name was unknown to the grand jury, and that he was only known to the grand jury by the name of `Rich Olivere.' This was a sufficient description of the defendant under our statute (Code, § 7142) [now codified at § 15-8-28 , Ala. Code 1975], and it was wholly immaterial what his true name was , unless the proof on the trial showed that the grand jury knew his true name at the time it returned the indictment." 4”
