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.
““Tliat this section of the statute applies only to matter exhibited upon an inclosing wrapper or cover, and not to matter -which is contained in the body of the thing mailed'; that, the statute being one constituting a criminal offense, it cannot be extended by construction to eases where there is no wrapper or cover at all, even though such cases may be within the reason and policy of the enactment.””
