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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * The failure of the sheriff of Cuyahoga County to lodge the petitioner in the Ohio penitentiary within five days after the judgment of conviction is said to prevent his apprehension and detention at this time. Section 13455-1, General Code [now R.C. 2949.12], is cited. It undoubtedly does impose this duty upon the sheriff in the absence of a suspension of the sentence, but it does not provide that the sheriff’s failure should exonerate the convict from the sentence imposed upon him, and it certainly would be a novel construction to hold that the wrong, if any, of the sheriff cancelled the wrong of the convicted person.”
