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.
““Any person who shall willfully or maliciously burn, or -cause to be burned, or aid, counsel, procure or consent to the burning of any dwelling house, whether it be his own or that of another, or any kitchen, shop, barn, stable, or other outhouse, that is a parcel thereof, or belonging or adjoining thereto, or any other building, by means whereof a dwelling house shall be burnt, whether it be his own or that of another, shall be guilty of arson.””
