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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In cases arising out of the same act or transaction, ox* two or more acts or transactions connected together, where there are several counts in the indictment, it will depend on the circumstances of the ease whether, on a general verdict of guilty as charged in the indictment, the defendant may be sentenced to more than the maximum punishment for one of the offenses charged. But in the case of two distinct offenses, arising out of two distinct acts or transactions, however closely related in point of time or place, the trial is for distinct offenses, of which the defendant may be found guilty, and receive the maximum punishment for each. " The act authorizing the joinder of offenses in one indictment, and the consolidation of separate indictments for distinct offenses, was intended to promote the speedy and economical administration of justice in such eases, in the interest both of the government and the defendant, and not practically to merge two or more distinct offenses into one, for the benefit of the latter.””

A right of person or property, secured or recognized by treaty, may be set up as a defence to a prosecution in disregard of either, with the ■same force and effect as if such right was secured by an act of Congress.”
