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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If we give to this language [referring to the language of the above statute] its ordinary meaning, there can be but one conclusion. It is not that he may be amerced, but that he shall be. The duty of returning the execution within 60 days is expressly cast upon him; and a failure to perform that duty as expressly subjects him to amercement. The terms of the statute imply no discretion. The command is positive and peremptory. The amercement is not in compensation, and to be measured by the extent of the injury, but a penalty for neglect of duty, and of definite and fixed amount.””
