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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]hen an offense is indictable in the superior court, a city or town ordinance, making the same act, or substantially the same act, an offense punishable by fine or imprisonment, such ordinance is void. It may be that the legislature has power to authorize a town to make an offense against the state a separate offense against the town, but this could be done only by an express grant of authority.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“must, therefore, compare the ordinance of Onslow County here in question with the state-wide law to determine whether the ordinance undertakes to prohibit and punish ... conduct which is not forbidden by the state-wide statute, and thus to require ‘a higher standard or condition,’ or undertakes to prohibit and punish the identical conduct dealt with by the state-wide statute.”
