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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““On the other hand, the vendor is to be reimbursed for his advances at the same time and in the same manner that he receives payment for the goods. Only one condition is to be performed—that of shipment by steamer. * * * On the part of the vendor the shipment by steamer was an effectual appropriation of the cocoa to the buyer, and at that moment the agreement on the vendor's part was executed. The plain obligation of the. purchaser, as defined by the written contract, then attached, and he was bound to accept and pay for the cargo at the price named and in the manner specified.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““The price is fixed at 59 shillings per cwt., and this is made up of the cost, the freight, and the premium of insurance. Thus the purchaser deals with the matter in gross, and not in detail, transacts the various branches of the business with one person, instead of three, fixes his liability at a lump sum, and in case of loss will recover the amount of his Interest under the policy.””
