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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is true that section 1909 oí the General Statutes provides that the court, ‘ with the consent oí the prosecuting attorney and the defendant, * * * may permit the jury to separate, * * * except in capital cases; ’ but that statute nowhere provides that the record shall recite the fact oí consent given. In the absence, then, of any objection appearing to the separation of the jury, the presumption will bo that the necessary consent was given. Such presumptions always attend the acts and doings of courts of general jurisdiction.””
