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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““With reference to incidents such as that under consideration, which, though infrequent, sometimes do occur in the course of a trial, it may be said that the presiding judge should, in the exercise of sound discretion, primarily determine whether they are prejudicial to that point which would require him to discharge the jury and announce a mistrial. In such disposition as the trial court may make, this court should not interfere, unless it plainly appears from an examination of the record with special reference to the verdict that there has been a miscarriage of justice.””
