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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This writ issues from a superior Court, and is directed to the judge and parties in any suit in an inferior tribunal, commanding them to cease from the prosecution thereof, upon a suggestion that either the cause originally or some collateral matter arising therein does not belong to that jurisdiction, but to the cognizance of some other Court. (Black, Vol. 3, pp. 112, 113.) This, in substance, is the de'fini 'tion of the writ. Its purpose is to restrain the encroachment of the juris•diction of inferior courts, and it is ■extended to a great variety of cases, having a more or less intimate relation with its general object.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Fishbein v. Thornton““It has also been said that in ‘the absence of a statute expressly permitting it, the general rule is that prohibition, being an extraordinary writ, cannot be resorted to when ordinary and usual remedies provided by law are adequate and available. Accordingly if a complete remedy lies by appeal, writ of error, writ of review, certiorari, injunction, mandamus, motion for change of venue, or in any other manner, the writ should be denied.’ 22 R.C.L. 9, para. 8.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Boothe v. Nelson““Prohibition, at common law, was a remedy against encroachment of jurisdiction. Its office was to restrain subordinate courts and inferior judicial tribunals from extending their jurisdiction. In adopting the remedy the courts have almost universally preserved its original common law nature, object and function.” See 73 C.J.S., Prohibition, § 2.”
