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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The indictment contains no direct allegation of the conviction of the first offense, but only a recital thereof. It alleges the commission of an offense under the prohibition law, and then proceeds: ‘The said Bich Cooper having heretofore “ * '* been convicted of unlawfully manufacturing, selling, * * * ardent spirits,’ etc. The former conviction should have been alleged directly, and not by way of recital.””
