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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ It is contended by the prosecution that the court was authorized to take judicial notice that prohibition was in force in Van Burén county. Without passing upon the question of whether it would be competent for the legislature to provide that the resolution or enactment of the board of supervisors be treated as a general law, of which courts may take judicial cognizance, it is sufficient to say that by the very clear provisions of the act in question the legislature negatived any such purpose, but has prescribed what shall constitute the evidence of the fact that the provisions of the law are in force in a particular county.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Dealing with the resolution as we find it, it was not sufficient evidence to warrant the court in finding ” that the act was in force.”
