The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““[Private prosecutions] are often commenced in very doubtful cases and for the most trivial offences and are not unfrequently found to originate in private quarrels and to be carried on to vex and harrass [sic] an opponent.
