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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * If he [the defendant] receives and cashes checks in several parishes, for which no services are rendered in any parish, he is guilty of violating the statute in any of the parishes where he obtains the money and is subject to prosecution there. But this does not mean that such an offender may be prosecuted in every parish in which he receives and cashes a check. The statute does not denounce the receipt and cashing of each check as a separate offense. It makes a person violating its provisions guilty of only a single offense and subject to only a single punishment.””
