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

1. ““The court had power to require the district attorney to make such election. But this is a matter resting in the discretion of the court, and a refusal to compel such election cannot in all cases be assigned as error. It is only in cases where such refusal is manifestly an improper exercise of discretion, that the ruling can be reviewed in the appellate or supervisory court.””
