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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Tbe indictment must be set aside by the court upon the motion of the defendant in either of the following cases: (1) When it is not found indorsed and presented as prescribed in chapter 7 of title 18 of this Code; (2) when the names of the witnesses examined before the grand jury are not inserted at the foot of the indictment or indorsed thereon.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““These, we hold, are the only two cases for which an indictment can be set aside; and as the section prohibiting any person, other than the district attorney, from appearing before the grand jury, is not in chapter 7, there was no error in the ruling of the court.””
