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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There are in the record many exceptions lodged to the contentions by the State given in his Plonor’s charge and these exceptions are preserved in the assignments of error, and some of them are set out in the appellant’s brief, but in no instance did the defendant object to the statement of such contentions at the time they were given, and objections thereto for the first time being made upon appeal in this Court would seem to be untenable.” State v. Baldwin, 226 N.C. 295 , 37 S.E. 2d 898 (1946).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““While each of the articles found in the possession of the defendant has its legitimate use, it cannot be said that taken in combination these articles are tools of any legitimate trade or calling. There is no legitimate purpose for which this defendant and his companion could have the combination of articles found in their possession.” State v. Baldwin, 226 N.C. 295 , 37 S.E. 2d 898 (1946).”
