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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Plaintiff makes no effort to demonstrate in what respects, if any, his arrest by defendant’s deputy, Noah Richmond, was unlawful. As herein-before indicated the arrest was made with a warrant, which, as far as anyone contends, was duly and regularly issued by a duly elected, qualified and acting justice of the peace. This being true, said deputy’s motive in arresting plaintiff, even if there had been any evidence tending to show said officer had one, other than that of doing his official duty, was immaterial. See 4 Am.Jur., Arrest, sec. 122, Annotations 21 A.L.R.2d 643 , 649; 35 C.J.S. False Imprisonment § 27; Restatement of the Law, Torts, sec. 122. * * * ””
