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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[When a person is authorized by law to engage in a particular business at a designated place, he is not liable to indictment and punishment for the consequences which may flow from the exercise of such authority, provided, always, that he keeps strictly within the terms of his license, or permission, and does only the things contemplated by the act under which he is licensed, in a careful and proper manner. . . .[And] if [parties'] acts create what ordinarily would be a nuisance, and what cannot be clearly shown to be the natural and probable result of the privilege, or if by another method of proceeding the authorized object could have been accomplished without creating the nuisance, they cannot rely for protection upon the statutory authority."”
