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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the first sentence contained clerical or formal errors, the judgment as entered may at any time be corrected so as to speak the truth of what was in fact done by the court. See 19 Ency. Plead. & Prac. 495. So far as the record discloses in this case, the verdict of the jury was correct, and the only error which existed, if any at all, was in the judgment or sentence originally entered. The petitioner, after serving one month approximately of the term imposed by the sentence, complained of such error. There was no error therefore in the cause being remanded for a proper judgment or sentence upon the verdict. (Citations omitted.) The judgment or sentence as corrected is valid. The petitioner, having served one month approximately, has only to serve for the remainder of the term imposed.”
