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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Even in case of a court of superior and general jurisdiction, and where the record shows a judgment and sentence entered up against a defendant, a writ of habeas corpus will be awarded and the defendant discharged, on a plea to the return, with proof, showing that no such judgment was entered upon the order-book until after adjournment of court. Passwater v. Edwards (1873), 44 Ind. 343, 345 ." (My italics).”
