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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... That writ at common law (rarely used under our statutes), when no appeal or writ of error was provided by statute in criminal actions was for the purpose of reviewing questions of fact, not question of law, which existed but were unknown to the court at the time the sentence was imposed and which, if known, would have prevented the rendition of the sentence; and, if allowed, the relief granted was a new trial, not a discharge...." (pp. 426, 427.)”
