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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The decisions of the court upon challenges to the panel, and for cause, or upon motions to set aside an indictment, shall not be subject to exception. ””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Since the commonwealth may not review a ruling to which no exception was properly preserved, it necessarily follows that rulings to which an exception is forbidden are not subject to appeal for certification of the law.””
