The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“An evil or felonious intent is an essential ingredient or element of the crime of larceny.... [I]n such cases, where it is proved or admitted that the taking and appropriation were knowingly done and the defense is that the accused had a legal right to take and appropriate the property ... testimony tending to show good faith on the part of the defendant is likewise admissible for [rebutting the inference that the taking was done with fraudulent intent.]”
