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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is urged that this was erroneous, because it is said that the jury can know nothing except by the testimony of witnesses. This is not true as to physical facts, which may be brought to their attention by ocular demonstration. It would not be necessary to prove by other testimony than profert of the party that he was ‘a person,’ ‘a man,’ if so described in the indictment.” See, also, Warlick v. White, 76 N. C. 175 , 179.”
