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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is true that the Criminal Code provides that, if an offense is committed in the presence of a peace officer, it is made the duty of the officer to arrest the offender and take him before the county judge or justice of the peace, to be dealt with according to the laws, and, if an offense is committed' in the presence of a magistrate, he may orally order the arrest of the offender. If an arrest is made by a peace officer of one committing an offense in his presence, he must take' him at once to a magistrate, and there state the grounds of his arrest. These are the only two instances in which a county judge or justice may have jurisdiction of an offender, except when a warrant, summons, penal action, or information is filed against him, and he is served with a summons or warrant, or where an indictment for a misdemeanor is transferred to the county court by order of the circuit court, or when one indicted for a misdemeanor is in jail in default of bail.””
