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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““The real question is whether the supplies have been furnished in a ‘foreign port’ (that is, in a place where there is no owner to supply her on his own credit), on the credit of the vessel. Even there, if the owner be present, and have sufficient credit, no lien arises. His mere presence would not, perhaps, avoid the lien; but if he buy the supplies, and be of credit, and have the opportunity to give his own security by making contract liens or otherwise, there is no implied lien. The maritime lien would arise or not, according to circumstances.””

2. “It seems to me a fair implication that whenever- á' State attaches a li.en to á maritime contract to be enforced in the admiralty, whatever would operate under the maritime law of that court to waive, forfeit or postpone a lien of like character, whether considered in its relation to liens of another grade or in its relation to other liens in the same grade, should have the same effect on' the lien created by the State, and that it is intended that -the strict letter of the statute should be so construed.”
