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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If an offense is committed on the portions of the Ohio or Wabash Rivers where they form a part of the boundaries of this state, trial may be had in the county that is adjacent to the river and whose boundaries, if projected across the river, would include the place where the offense was committed.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The State of Indiana ... shall have concurrent jurisdiction, in civil and criminal cases, with the State of Kentucky on the Ohio River and with the State of Illinois on the Wabash River, so far as said rivers form the common boundary between this State and said States respectively.”
