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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A pattern of legislative intent is apparent in the three successive sections of Art. 27, § 32 [Breaking outhouse, etc., or into boat with intent to commit felony], § 33 [Breaking into shop, etc., and stealing; restitution] and § 33A [Breaking into building or boat with intent to steal]. Each have the common element of breaking into structures other than dwelling houses, structures to which we will apply the euphemism "storehouse.””
