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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ And we are not called upon in this case to consider whether there may not be eases in which the prosecuting attorney would be excused, in the ¿interest of the State, from disclosing what had been told to him with a view to the commencement of criminal proceedings.. There would be strong reasons in many cases why the counsel of the State should be inviolably kept; and nothing we shall say in this case will be intended to lay do,wn a rule except for the very case at bar and others standing upon the same facts.””
