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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If any person shall feloniously, in the night or day, break any warehouse, storehouse, office, shop,, or room, in a steam, wharf, or other boat, whether such place be or be not a depository for goods,, wares or merchandise, and whether the goods,, wares and merchandise be or be not exposed for sale in such place, with intent to steal, or shall feloniously take therefrom or destroy any goods,, wares, or merchandise, or other thing of value,, whether the owner or other person be or be not in such house, office, room, or shop, he shall be confined in the penitentiary not less than one nor more than five years.’’’”
