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.

“The indictment charges the appellant with embezzling the funds of the American Express Company, "which is duly incorporated," while the evidence for the state showed that the American Express Company was not a corporation, but a partnership. It is contended for the appellant that this was a material variance between the indictment and proof. This question was properly raised in the court below by motion to exclude the testimony for the state, which was overruled, by a request for a peremptory instruction to the jury to return a verdict of not guilty, which was denied, and by the motion for a new trial. There was no such offense at common law as embezzlement; it is made such by statute; it is a statutory larceny. The rules of law in cases of larceny, with reference to alleging and proving the ownership of the property charged to have been stolen, apply with equal force to the crimes of embezzlement, false pretenses, and other kindred offenses. 2 Bishop's New Criminal Procedure, § 320; State v. Tatum [ 96 Miss. 430 ], 50 So. 490 . (Emphasis added) ( 99 Miss. at 183 , 54 So. at 723 ).”

It was immaterial how Hunter got the information. The material fact proven was that McGuirck did come, which resulted in the four hundred and ninety dollars being placed in the pony safe in accordance with appellant's instructions. ( 99 Miss. at 184 , 54 So. at 724 ).”
