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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““According to Mr. Bishop this is but the terms of the common law, and seems to require no change from the common law indictment, but as the act done must be such as the law recognizes as adequate and because the accused is always entitled to have the particulars of the accusation stated to him, such act must be specifically averred. While not necessary to allege failure in the attempt, it is necessary to set out both the intent and the act. 2 Bish. New Crim. Proc. 86. ‘In indictments for attempts the laxity permitted in assaults will not be maintained * * * But “attempts” is a term peculiarly indefinite. It has no prescribed legal meaning. It relates from its nature to an unconsummated offence. It covers acts some of which are indictable and some of which are not. * * * At common law such facts must be set forth as show that the attempt is criminal in itself * * * in an, indictment for an attempt to commit a crime, it is essential to aver that the defendant did some act, which directed by a particular intent, to be averred, would have apparently resulted in the ordinary and likely course of things in a particular crime.’ 1 Whart. Cr. Law (10 Ed.) 190, 192. “Indictments for attempts to commit crimes must aver the intent and the overt act constituting the attempt. 3 Ency. PI. & Pr. 98.””
