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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"An information or complaint under the prohibitory liquor law, verified in accordance with § 12 of such law, [now ¶ 2543, Gen. Stat. of 1889,] is, so far as the verification is concerned, sufficient for any purpose except merely for -the purpose of issuing a warrant for the arrest of the defendant. Such an information thus verified may properly be filed by the county attorney, a trial may be properly had thereon, a conviction may properly follow the trial, and the defendant may properly be sentenced upon such conviction. ... Of course, before a warrant is issued for •■the arrest of the defendant, an oath or affirmation within the meaning of § 15 of the bill of rights should Be made, showing probable cause to believe the defendant guilty; but if no. such oath or affirmation is made or filed, but nevertheless the defendant without objection pleads to the merits of the-action and goes to trial, he waives all irregularities in the verification of the information, and cannot afterward be heard to question the regularity or validity of any proceeding in the case, if he urges no other objection than that such verification is insufficient.””
