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.

“‘‘Chapter 24 of the Revised Statutes, commencing with Section 1227 and ending, with Section 2119, inclusive, was passed as one bill, and embraces the entire subject of crime and criminal procedure, and there is nothing in the point that the constitutional provision that the subject of each bill shall be ‘dearly expressed in its title and that no bill shall contain but one subject, was violated. [Art. é, seo. 28, Const.] There are no incongruous matter in Chapter 26, and the title of ‘ Crimes and Criminal Procedure’ olearly indicates what it contains. What are crimes and the procedure in criminal eases, are cognate subjects, and the definition of crimes and the procedure against persons accused of committing them, may very properly be embraced in one bill.””
