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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But it was early held in this state that, on an indictment for stealing property of a specified value, it was not necessary for the jury to assess the value in their verdict: Howell v. State, 1 Or. 242 . And this is in harmony with the great weight of authority. A general verdict of guilty affirms the truth of all the material allegations of the indictment, including that of value, so far as the same is material; and, therefore, on a charge of stealing several articles of specified values, such a verdict is a finding that the defendant stole all of them, and that their several values were as averred, or at_ least that their aggregate value is sufficient to constitute the crime charged. ’ ’”
