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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]ny person who may commit any crime ... on or at the boundary or divisional line between any of the counties in this State, or so near thereto or where the exact location of such a boundary is so uncertain as to render it doubtful in which county the offense was committed, then the county which first assumes jurisdiction by issuing process for the arrest and prosecution of the offender shall have jurisdiction to charge, present, indict, try, convict and sentence; and in such case it shall be only necessary for the State to establish the venue alleged in the information, warrant, or indictment, by proving that the offense was at or on the boundary of the county wherein the accused is being tried, or was so near thereto or the location of the boundary is so uncertain as to render it doubtful in which county the crime was committed.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““At common law criminal offenses were tried by a jury of the county where the offense was commit ted. 4 Blackstone’s Commentaries 303. When an accused chose not to be tried by ordeal or by battle, but by his country, he chose to be tried by a jury of the county in which the offense with which he was charged had been committed. Nevertheless, the Court of King’s Bench had the power of directing that the trial was to take place before a jury from an adjoining county when justice required it. Price v. State, 8 Gill 295, 296, 306-11 . The practice of trying those accused of crime in the county of the commission of the offense was not general in Maryland in early times.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“"The circuit courts are the highest common-law and equity courts of record exercising original jurisdiction within the State. Each has full common-law and equity powers and jurisdiction in all civil and criminal cases within its county, and all the additional powers and jurisdiction conferred by the Constitution and by law, except where by law jurisdiction has been limited or conferred exclusively upon another tribunal.””
