The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““. . . The State, however, brings the ‘residence’ within the meaning of ‘other building’ in which valuable things are kept. We are in accord with the position of the State. The term ‘residence’ is defined as ‘a building used as a home: dwelling: . . . .’ See Webster’s Third New International Dictionary (1961 edition). No harm has come to the Defendant from the use of the word ‘residence’ in place of the words ‘dwelling house.’ ””
