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.

1. ““Is defendant liable for the consequences of the second arrest (under the warrant), the plaintiff having’ been convicted before the justice of the peace and acquitted upon appeal? No action for false imprisonment can be based upon an arrest under a warrant fair upon its face. The plaintiff cannot recover under his count for malicious prosecution because of his conviction before the justice of the peace, that conviction furnishing’ conclusive proof of probable cause unless procured by false or fraudulent testimony or other unlawful means.””
