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.
““The sheriff has no power to fix the amount of bail; and a recognizance wherein said amount was fixed by him would, therefore, probably be void. But the sheriff has a right to take a recognizance in a sum fixed by the court, or an associate judge; and when he does take one in such a sum we do not think it void by reason of an omission, in the proper officer, to indorse such sum upon the writ. The plea, in this case, did not deny that the amount of bail had been fixed by the proper authority, nor that the sheriff took it in the amount fixed; but it simply denied that the amount had been indorsed upon the writ, and was, therefore, as we think, insufficient.” (Page 158.)”
