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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * There was no demurrer to the indictment. As to the contents of the building, this indictment is the same as in the case of McCormick v. State, 141 Ala. 75 , 37 So. 377 , where it was held that the words ‘things of value’ were descriptive of watches (cigarettes here). It was further held that, as to the goods or merchandise, it was not necessary to either aver or prove value. And in Henderson v. State, 70 Ala. 23 , 45 Am. Rep. 72 , it is held that, where the indictment describes the specific class of articles mentioned in the statute as kept in the building for use, sale, or deposit— as, for example, either goods or merchandise — the law conclusively presumes that they are of value, and no averment need be made in the indictment to this effect. * * * ””
