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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““As I understand tho rule, if the question is of such a description that the answer may oi’ may not criminate the witness, he can refuse to answer (Judge Marshall's opinion on Burr’s Trial, 25 Fed. Cas. 39); but if the court is convinced that the answer to the question cannot by any possibility crimi-nate him, and especially if the witness does not swear that he believes that it would, it is the duty of the court to compel him to answer.””
