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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence of what the defendant and the prosecutrix testified to at the trial of the assault case was admitted over objection to show the alleged false testimony and its materiality, and the evidence there given by the prosecutrix was properly limited to the question of materiality by an instruction to the jury that it did not prove, or tend to prove, the falsity of the testimony upon which the perjury is assigned.””
