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 68 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ There has always been observed a distinction between betting or gambling and maintaining a gambling-house or a place to which people resort to gamble. While at common law wagers on indifferent subjects were legal and might be enforced, a gambling-house or a resort for gamblers was a public nuisance for which its keeper might be indicted (Wharton’s 'Criminal Law, § 2, 446). “ The same distinction has obtained in this State, where ordinary betting has never been made a crime, though in some cases subject to small pecuniary mulcts, while the keeping of a gambling-house, selling lottery tickets and the profession of a common gambler have been subjected to severe punishment.””
