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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘“If a . . . peace officer arrest a person without a warrant, he is not bound to show in his justification a felony actually committed, to render the arrest lawful, but if he suspects one on his own knowledge of facts; or upon facts communicated to him by others, and thereupon he has reasonable ground to believe that the accused has been guilty of felony, the arrest is not unlawful.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage““A peace officer may, without a warrant, arrest a person: "1. For a public offense, committed or attempted in his presence. “2. When the person arrested has committed a felony, although not in his presence. “3. When a felony has in fact been committed, and he has reasonable cause for believing the person arrested to have committed it. “4. On a charge made upon reasonable cause, of the commission of a felony by the party arrested”.”
