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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[W]hile the word `recent,' in this connection, is not capable of exact definition, and always varies within a certain range, with the conditions of each particular case, and while there may be cases in which the court is authorized as matter of law to pronounce the possession recent, yet the question is one of fact for the jury and a charge which ignores it or withdraws it from their consideration is erroneous." [Emphasis added]”
