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.
““Hard cider is cider excessively fermented; and, therefore, presumptively, hard cider is not only a fermented liquor, but intoxicating. Whatever is generally and popularly known as intoxicating liquor may be so declared as a matter of law by the courts. Under the statute, all fermented liquor is presumed to be intoxicating; and if a defendant denies that the fermented liquor sold by him is intoxicating, it devolves upon him to remove the presumption of law by evidence.” (p. 94.)”
