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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The object of the statute was to compel the husband, if he were able to do so, to support his wife and children.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The fact that the court is authorized instead of putting the sentence into execution at once to parole and recognize the defendant on condition that he provide periodical support for his wife does not render the act void for diversion of a fine from the direction required by section 6 of article 6 of the constitution, which requires the proceeds of fines for the breach of any penal laws to be applied exclusively to the support of common schools. The payment required under this sort of order is the payment of a sum found by the court to be reasonable for the support of a wife by virtue of which payment the defendant escapes the penalty of the law, and it can by no- process of reasoning. be rightfully considered a fine.””
