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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The common law defined an affray as the fighting of two or more persons in a public place, to the terror of the people. Our statute merely prescribes the punishment for, and does not attempt to define, an affray; so we must resort to the common-law definition. “Is assault and battery then embraced within an affray? It has been repeatedly held that an affray by fighting, as defined by the common law and by statutes which substantially follow and denounce the common-law offense, necessarily includes assault and battery, and that an indictment for the former offense is in effect merely for the several assaults and batteries. . . .””
