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 55 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The general, if not universal, rule is that, if' a man have connection with a woman while she is asleep, he is guilty of rape, because the act is without her consent. * * * We are, therefore, unanimously of opinion that the crime, which the evidence in this case tends to prove, of a man’s having carnal intercourse with a woman without her consent, while she was, as he knew, wholly insensible so as to be incapable of consenting, and with such force as was necessary to accomplish the purpose, was rape.’ ””
