The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““After that judgment has been fully executed, the petitioner will be entitled to his custody, unless he shall then stand charged with some other military offense, committed since the service of the writ issued herein; and, in view of the near expiration of the term of imprisonment fixed by such judgment, I deem it a proper exercise of discretion to not finally discharge the writ at this time. It is ordered that the said Thomas H. Dowd be remanded to the custody whence he -was taken, there to remain until November 28, 1898, and that upon that day, at the hour of 11 o’clock a. m., he be, by the respond-svit herein, Herbert I. Choynski, produced before this court, and that the respondent then and there show cause, if any there be, why the said Thomas H. Dowd should not bo then committed to the custody of the petitioner.””
