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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well settled by this Court, that the power of the Superior Court to allow amendments to warrants is very comprehensive, (citations omitted.) A warrant cannot be amended so as to' charge a different offense, (citations omitted.) However, the Superior Court, under our statute, G.S. 7-149, Rule 12, may allow, within the discretion of the court, an amendment to a warrant both as to form and substance before or after verdict, provided the amended warrant does not change the nature of the offense intended to be charged in the original warrant, (citations omitted.) A warrant may be defective in form and substance and yet contain sufficient information to inform the defendant of the accusation made against him. Such a warrant may be amended.””
