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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In Huebner, Administrator, v. Erie Railroad Co., 68 N. J. L. 468, where the judge instructed the jury as requested upon a certain question, but so modified that request by other instructions as to likely mislead the jury and thereby harm the defendant, a new trial was granted. That was a civil suit. The ride will be applied with equal, if not greater, liberality in a criminal ease.””
