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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The rule in criminal pleading is `that in an indictment nothing material should be taken by intendent or implication.' . . . The phrase `induced to sell' signifies that the defendant `moved,' `urged,' `instigated' the Cains to sell to him, but it falls short of averring that they `did sell' to him. The allegation should have been `were induced to sell and did sell and deliver' to defendant said horses.”
