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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There were but two possible courses-for the court to pursue at the time this objection was made by the respondent: one was to go on, against the respondent’s objection, and try the cause before the jury then impaneled; and the other was to accede to the objection made and discharge the jury. “The discharge of the jury, under the circumstances of the case, must be deemed to have been done upon the request of the respondent, and with his consent. He has no right to complain that his objection was sustained, and the discharge of the jury with his consent cannot be set up as an acquittal.” (Page 312.)”
