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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are -aware that the courts of some of the states have held that evidence of reputation of the house as a house of ill fame is not admissible, but believe the better rule to be that adopted in Connecticut. In that state the language of the statute is precisely similar to our own, ‘keeping a house of ill fame resorted to for the purpose of prostitution or lewdness/ and the courts of that state have held that, by force of these particular words, it is both permissible and necessary to prove the renutation of the house.””
