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.
““ The sole penalty for violation of the provisions of chapters 180 and 819 of the Laws of 1933 is that provided by section 97 of chapter 180 of the Laws of 1933, imposing fines and imprisonment, and to similar effect is section 130 of the present New York Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, being chapter 478 of the Laws of 1934. “ The Legislature has not denounced the contract of sale as unenforcible and void, which it could have done had it intended that effect, and the courts should not usurp the law-making powers by inserting and adding a forfeiture or a penalty not prescribed by the letter of the statute nor shown to be its clear intent.””
