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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is manifest that this section simply permits the circuit court, in its discretion, to summon a special venire from the body of the county, and there is nothing in the language to indicate that it is mandatory that the special venire be drawn from the entire county, but the language `if the court so direct' lodges the discretion entirely within the province of the trial court, and a juror is not required to serve out of his district unless the circuit court in its discretion should otherwise order. ( 148 Miss. at 626 , 114 So. at 391 ).”
