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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has been said to be a safe and judicious practice to require the plea of not guilty to be given in before the change of venue is awarded (citing authorities). Doubtless it is- the better practice to arraign the defendant, and require him to plead to the indictment, before the order changing the venue is made, because it might turn out, in the court to which the venue is changed, that the indictment might be quashed on plea in abatement, motion or demurrer, and the public would be at the expense and delay of remanding the defendant to the county where the offense was committed for a new indictment.””
