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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The resolution of the issue raised by this appeal is governed by a fundamental rule of law which was laid down by our Supreme Court as early as 1792 and which had developed under English law as early as 1470. The defendant herein cannot be found “guilty of larceny” because the offense of larceny is not charged in the indictment. State v. Higgins, 1 N.C. 36 (1792). “[I]t is still necessary that the technical words, requisite in the description of the offense . . ., be inserted in the indictment.” Id. at 47 .”
