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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trial judge should have been requested by the defendant to charge a cautionary instruction, limiting its consideration by the jury to such a purpose. Evidence, legal for one purpose, cannot be excluded because the jury may erroneously use it for another purpose. The court on request will always guard against such an error, or, if not, a party aggrieved may take his exception. Trenton Passenger Railway Co. v. Cooper, 60 N.J.L. 219 ; Hill v. Maxwell, 77 Id. 766.”
