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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““First: That at the place mentioned by the witness a gambling device or instrument was in existence. Second: That that gambling device was what is generally known as a faro bank. Third: That the defendant was the keeper of that faro bank. To establish the fact of one being the keeper of a faro bank, it is sufficient to show that he appeared thus acting as the one having control, in charge, superintending the same. It is not necessary to show that he was actually the owner. Fourth: That the defendant being the-keeper, kept such gambling device for the purpose of gain. Fifth: That defendant, being the keeper and keeping the said device for purposes of gain, induced or permitted other persons to bet and play upon such gambling device either on his side or against him.” (p. 158.)”
