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.
““All courts having criminal jurisdiction in Michigan may sentence all male persons duly convicted 'of a felony before them, and who shall be at the time of sentence of the full age of sixteen years, and not more than twenty-five years, of age; and also all male persons duly ■convicted before them of a misdemeanor, where the imprisonment shall not be less- than ninety days/'’ etc.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. In re Silverthorn · In re Kreiner““The legislature did not intend that other or more odious punishment should be imposed than that specified in the act. It is a greater and more odious punishment to be imprisoned with convicted felons in a State house of correction than in a county jail. Had the legislature intended that an infraction of the law might, be punished by sentence to the State house of correction, they should, and probably would, have said so.””
