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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The term of circuit court was for a period of one week. As authorized by Code of 1942, Sec. 1647, the circuit judge entered an order extending the term for an additional week. It was during this second week of the term that appellant was tried. He contends that the court improperly extended the term of court. But it is established that the extension vel non of a term is within the discretion of the judge, and this Court will not inquire into whether or not that discretion was abused. Hughes v. State, 188 Miss. 554 , 195 So. 311 (1940).”
