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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The remedy sought is to secure an enforcement of a police regulation of the state, and concerns the public at large as distinguished from the ordinary civil action to determine the rights of private persons. . . . They are statutory proceedings assimilated to criminal proceedings by force of the inherent subject-matter, an unlawful use of property. It is to be noted that the proceeding may be had before a justice of the peace, irrespective of the value of the property seized, while if it is a purely civil action in all respects, the jurisdiction would be limited to valuations of $200.””
