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.
““From our study of our statute cited above, we are convinced that the legislature made no attempt to authorize the inclusion of two or more separate and distinct charges in the same information or indictment where the charges did not arise out of the same incident or transaction. Such legislation, if permissible, would have, been a radical departure from, the established law of the land and should therefore unequivocally express such intention rather than to imply it. See Bishop on Criminal Procedure, 3. Ed., Vol. 1, p. 277; Bishop’s New Criminal Procedure, Vol. 1, p. 277; Wharton’s Criminal Law, 10 Ed., Sec. 414; People v. Aiken, 66 Mich. 460 , 33 N.W. 821 , 11 Am.St.Rep. 512 ; Hotter v. People, 150 Ill. 441 , 37 N.E. 932 .””
