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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In ruling that nothing short of “breaking down a door” will satisfy the requirement of a showing of force, we believe the learned trial judge was in error. In Stearns v. Vincent, [ 50 Mich. 209 , 15 N.W. 86, 91 (Mich.1883) ] it was stated: The protection of the dwelling against entry for the service of process is in the outer door only, and it is optional with the owner to take it by closing the door against the officer, or to waive it by allowing him to enter. If the officer once gains entrance through the outer door without force or fraud, the privilege is gone, and he may force open any other door if necessary to make complete service of his process.”
