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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The term ‘idem sonans’ means sounding the same. Here, the two names, ‘Vincent’ and ‘Vinson,’ sound almost alike. No point was made of the variance, if such it be, on the trial, and, ■of course, the defendant will not now be heard to say that his real name is ‘Furgerson.’ He was tried under the name of Vincent, without objection or challenge, and sentenced under the same name. There being no question as to his identity, he may retain the name for purposes of judgment.””
