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

““The weight of authority seems to be that when the jury has been impaneled and sworn, and the indictment read, and pleaded to by the defendant, as in this case, he is entitled to have the trial proceed to its conclusion. If it is then interrupted by an improper discharge of the jury, or other insufficient legal cause, he cannot be tried again.” Grogan v. State, 44 Ala. 9 .”
