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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is a well established rule in criminal proceedings, that where, in an indictment, a particular description is given by way of identifying an article of property alleged to have been stolen, the state is bound by the description thus given, and that, to justify a conviction, the evidence must sustain the description contained in the indictment. Starkie Ev., 8th Am. Ed., 628; 1 Bishop Crim. Proced., sec. 579; 1 Wharton Crim. Law, sections 592, 610. . . . Where an indictment for larceny contains particulars descriptive of the property stolen, though unnecessarily inserted, such particulars must be proved on the trial. The State v. Jackson, 30 Me. 29 .””
