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 83 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Section 1277 of the Penal Code provides that ‘the admission to bail may be made by the magistrate by whom he is so held, or by any magistrate who has power to issue the writ of habeas corpus.’ Section 1280 provides that ‘The bail must in all cases justify by affidavit, taken before the magistrate, ’ etc. And the provisions of section 1281 aré that ‘Upon the allowance of bail and the execution of the undertaking, the magistrate must, if the defendant is in custody, make and sign an order for his discharge.’ From these sections of the code it is apparent that it is the intent of the law that the magistrate admitting the defendant to bail is the only one before whom the bail may justify, and the only magistrate authorized to make and sign the defendant’s discharge upon the allowance of bail and the execution of the undertaking.””
