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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is true the mittimus delivered to the warden of the penitentiary recites that petitioner was convicted of the crime of ‘escape from jail,’ but the legality of the imprisonment does not rest upon the mittimus, but upon the judgment, (Sennott’s Case, 146 Mass. 489 , 16 N.E. 448 ) and a prisoner who has been legally and properly sentenced to prison can not obtain his discharge simply because there is an imperfection, or error, in the mittimus. People ex rel. Trainor v. Baker, 89 N.Y. [460], 461.””
