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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““These five sections do not mention the place of commission of any offense; and may perhaps be held to include any Territory or other place over which the United States have exclusive jurisdiction, since so much of the Act of March 22, 1882, chapter 47, referred to- in the title of this act as defined and punished offenses expressly included any such Territory or place. 22 Stat. 30 . But upon the question whether such provisions apply to the District of Columbia there have been conflicting opinions. United States v. Crawford, 6 Mackey, 319 ; Knight v. United States, 6 App. D. C. 1. And we are not now required to determine the application of these provisions of the act of 1887.””
