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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the judge of the court be satisfied, after having-made a fair effort, in good faith, for that purpose,, that, from any cause, it will be impracticable to obtain a jury free of bias in the county wherein the prosecution is pending, he shall be authorized to order the sheriff to summon a sufficient number of' qualified jurors from some adjoining county in which the judge shall believe there is the greatest probability of obtaining impartial jurors, and from, those so summoned the jury may be formed.””
