The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“Giving the words of this section their ordinary and usual sense ... the statute requires the first indictment to remain suspended pending the period the second is in force, unless actually quashed by the court on the record; but, if the second is itself quashed without the first having been quashed, the first is restored to all its vigor, and we are not authorized to hold that it is quashed ipso facto by the preferment of a second indictment.”
