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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute defining adultery and fixing the punishment (G.S.1913, § 8702) provides that ‘no prosecution shall be commenced except upon complaint of the husband or the wife.’ We do not think this means that a formal complaint must be first made before a committing magistrate. The purpose of the statute is, as stated in State v. Armstrong, 4 Minn. 335 ( Gil. 251 ), to prevent prosecutions for this crime unless the innocent spouse ‘feels sufficiently injured by it’ to institute proceedings. As said in State v. Brecht, 41 Minn. 50 , 42 N.W. 602 , ‘If the parties injured choose to acquiesce in the wrong done, no one else ought to be allowed to move in the matter.’ ” (Emphasis added). State v. Marshall, 140 Minn. 363 , 168 N.W. 174 at 174 (1918).”
