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.

Whart. Cr. PI. and Pr. (9th ed.), section 350; State v. Mellor, 13 R. I. 666.””
