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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Bill of exceptions in criminal case must be taken and signed by presiding judge as in civil case. Code 1923 § 3234 [Code 1940, Tit. 15, § 365], “The statute authorizing striking of bill of exceptions for delay in presenting or signing does not vest in Attorney General the exclusive right to decide, by moving to strike bill of exceptions on that ground, that denial of constitutional rights of defendant in criminal case may not be reviewed, and, in ruling upon such motion, court will examine bill of exceptions, where set out in record on appeal, to see if any constitutional right of defendant was denied him. Code 1923 §§ 6433, 6434 [Code 1940, Tit. 7, §§ 822, 827].” (Italics supplied by us).”
