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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Hill’s Annotated Laws is an authorized compilation of the statutes of Oregon, and to refer in the title of a legislative act to the particular section of such compilation sought to be amended is a sufficient statement of the subject for a mere amendatory act, and if the provisions of the amendment could have been included in the original act without violating the Constitution, it is valid.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The terms ‘conviction’ and ‘punishment’ each have a well-settled legal meaning, and are used in the law to designate certain stages and incidents of a criminal prosecution; and when the Legislature declared that for a violation of his official duty a county treasurer should, on conviction thereof, be punished, it manifestly intended that the proceedings against him should be on the criminal, and not the civil, side of the court.””
