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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Section 182 has reference to persons confined in a county jail or held in custody going to such jail. As a rule, penal statutes must be strictly construed, and they cannot be extended beyond the grammatical and natural meaning of their terms, upon the plea of failure of justice. [Remmington v. State, 1 Ore. 281; State v. Lovell, 23 Iowa, 304 ; Gibson v. State, 38 Ga. 571 .] “We are not at liberty to interpolate into the statute ‘city prison’ nor can we judicially determine that a ‘city prison’ is a ‘county jail.’ It is therefore our opinion that the matters charged in the information do not constitute any. offense within the statute. The omission is one for which the Legislature is responsible. It is probably a casus omissus, which the Legislature may, but the court cannot, supply.” [State v. Chapman, 33 Kan. 134 .]”
