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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““~We hold, that it is sufficient in such a case, for the indictment to allege that the act of the Legislature, approved April 5, 1887, known as the Local Option Law has been duly adopted and was in force as the law of the state within the territory within which the offense is laid, at the date of the alleged offense, without reciting in detail the manner in which it was so adopted,, which is merely the pleading of evidence. So much of the indictment in the present case as went beyond this may, therefore, be rejected as surplusage; and the fact that it erroneously states the date of the act of the Legislature as April 5, 1888, instead of April 5, 1887, is of no importance, since there is but one act by that title and the clerical error is one which corrects itself.””
