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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““We . . . note one of the other contentions made by the appellant that the district court of Labette county had no jurisdiction of the petitioner, an inmate of the penitentiary at Lansing, in Leavenworth county, nor of the warden of the penitentiary. Without considering the question at any length attention is called to In re Jewett, 69 Kan. 830 , 77 Pac. 567 , which involved a proceeding in habeas corpus in which the district court of Johnson county had ordered the warden of the penitentiary at Lansing to bring the petitioner before it, in Johnson county, and in which the order had been served upon the warden by the Johnson county sheriff. Under statutes substantially the same as we have now the question of the territorial limits of jurisdiction of district courts was broadly considered and it was held that the ‘jurisdiction of the several district courts of this state, and of the judges thereof, in civil matters is confined to their respective districts.’ A proceeding for issuance of a writ of error coram nobis being civil in character, as is a proceeding in habeas corpus, no reason now appears why the same rule would not apply.” (p. 216.)”

2. ““. . . under the rule laid down in our decisions, which it may be stated we are not disposed to broaden in view of the adequate remedies afforded persons convicted of crimes under our comprehensive codes of civil and criminal procedure, none of the points urged by appellant in his application is of the character required to warrant the granting of a writ of error coram nobis.” (p. 134.)”
