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.
““The criminal jurisdiction of a justice of the peace extends throughout the county in which he is elected or appointed, but he is required to reside and exercise his jurisdiction within his district, and the administration of an oath verifying a complaint for search and seizure and the issuance of a search warrant thereon, at a place beyond the limits of his district. Held, proceedings void for want of jurisdiction. * * * “A justice of the peace being a township or city officer under the Constitution and laws of this state, he can perform his official acts only in his own township or city district.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Our conclusion is that, under the provisions of statute and the foregoing authorities, the verification of the complaint, and the issuance of the search warrant thereon was a matter of jurisdiction, and not of procedure, and where the record is silent, as in this case, jurisdiction will not be conclusively presumed, and evidence showing or tending to' show want of jurisdiction should have been admitted.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““No person shall be eligible to the office of justice of the peace or constable who is not a legal voter of the district, township, city or town for which he is elected or appointed.” 39 O. S. 1941 § 3. “Justices of the peace and constables shall reside and keep their offices in the district from which they are elected.” 39 O. S. 1941 § 6.”
