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.
“Although there is admittedly no fixed time limit within which the writ of habeas corpus may be sought, there are decisions in which courts have expressed the view that the issuance of the writ may, under proper circumstances, be denied because of the delay in seeking it. See In re Tremper, supra ; In re Zee, supra [ 13 N.J. Super. 312 ( Cty. Ct. 1951)]; 39 C.J.S. 619 (1944). But cf. In re Gladstone, supra [ 12 N.J. Super. 589 ( Cty. Ct. 1951)]; People ex rel. Albanese v. Hunt, 177 Misc. 151 , 30 N.Y.S. 2 d 137 ( Sup. Ct. 1941), reversed on other ground in 266 App. Div. 105 , 41 N.Y.S. 2 d 646 (1943).”
