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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Generally speaking, and in the absence of statutory modifications, it is essential to every [grand] larceny that there be (1) a felonious or fraudulent taking ..., accompanied by (2) the carrying away or asportation by one person of (3) the personal goods or property of another which may be the subject of larceny. Such taking must be (4) without the consent and against the will of the owner, involving a trespass to the latter's possession or its equivalent, and (5) with a felonious intent of the taker, existing at the time of the taking, to steal the same.”
