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.
““ If persons be bound by a recognizance that J. S. shall appear in the K. B., in such a term, to answer such an information against him, and not depart till he shall be discharged by the court, and afterwards the attorney general enter a nolle prosequi as to that information, and exhibit another upon which the defendant is convicted, and he refuses to appear in court after personal notice, the recognizance is forfeited. For, being express that the party shall not depart till he be discharged by the court, it cannot be satisfied unless he be forthcoming and ready to answer any other information exhibited against him while he continued undischarged.””
