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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The description of the property burned, as ‘the jail of Wilcox county,’ was a sufficient averment of. ownership, without more. We judicially know that the county jails in this state are the property of the several counties in which they are severally located, and that each county in the state is a body corporate. Coda 1876, §§ '820, 815. Matters of which judicial notice is taken need not be stated in indictments, any more than in ordinary pleadings in civil causes.””
