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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To sustain a conviction under the statute it is necessary that there should he some evidence, direct or circumstantial, conducing to show that the owner or controller of the leased property, or premises-, knew or had such information as would put a person of ordinary prudence upon notice, at or before the time the lease was entered into, that it was the intention of the lessee to sell, in violation of law, liquor in or upon the property leased.””
