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.
““The courts have required those particulars to be stated where it can be done; but where the offense is alleged to have occurred with a person whose name is unknown' to the plaintiff, and that fact is alleged, it has been uniformly held that the allegation is sufficiently specific, and I do not understand that any well-considered case holds it to be necessary that the particular locality or time of the commission. of the offense should be stated, when there is an averment that they are unknown and that a statement of the specific time and place cannot be made.” Mitchell v. Mitchell, 61 N. Y. 398 .”
