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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`If the evidence show him to be guilty of a higher offense than he stands indicted for, or of a lower, or of one differing in nature, whether under a statute or at common law, he cannot be heard to complain; the question being, whether it shows him to be guilty of the one charged:' 1 Bish. Crim. Law, sec. 791.”
