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.

1. ““The statute involved here is not a civil limitations statute, but is in a sense jurisdictional in that it places a limit upon the time when the court may proceed against a defendant who has been placed on probation. That which must satisfy the court ‘during the three years’ is the presentation to it of ‘information and due proof,’ not the filing of an action... or the commencement of an action... to satisfy the court with ‘information and due proof’ clearly speaks to the trial itself, not to the petition of the probation department to revoke. “A petition for revocation is certainly not ‘information and due proof’ and it is the latter only that, if presented to the court ‘during the three years,’ permits it to ‘proceed to trial... or sentence’ the appellant.” (Emphasis supplied). Id. at 567-68.”
