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 56 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A name need not be correctly spelled in an indictment, if substantially the same sound is preserved. The following are cases in which the variance between the names as alleged and as proven was at least as great as in the present, and in which it was held that the variance was not material: Bupp and Bopp, 39 Pa.St. 429 ; Heckman and Hackman, 88 Pa.St. 120 ; Hutson and Hudson, 7 Mo. 143 ; Shaffer and Shafer, 29 Kan. 337 ; Wooley and Wolley, 21 Ark. 462 ; Penryn and Penngrine, 14 Md. 121 [131].””
