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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is not the rule that the state must show as a condition precedent to the introduction in evidence of intoxicating liquor that it came into the possession of the liquor lawfully. This is an objection which the defendant must make, and when he makes it he must himself show that its possession was obtained by the state unlawfully.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The second branch of the objection is that the description of the premises is too indefinite. As we have before stated, the warrant described a specific tract of real property, containing no reference to a house or other structures that might be situated thereon. But we think the description sufficient. The buildings searched were a part of the described premises, and manifestly a warrant to search the whole authorizes a search of the parts.””
