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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It was not necessary for the indictment to allege that the panel of jurors on which Dickenson was summoned, was summoned by order of the court, as the precedents heretofore cited show. The issuance of a venire has not been regarded as necessary in this State since Samuels v. State, 3 Mo. 68 . And, ever since statutes regarding the summoning of a jury have been enacted, they have only been regarded as directory.”
