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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There is no doubt in our minds, from reading the evidence, that it was proved clearly, and beyond any fair doubt, that there was an agreement to-discontinue the action in the marine court, and that thereupon the trial in the supreme court proceeded to judgment. It is thus wholly immaterial whether the stipulation to discontinue and to vacate the judgment was ever entered into in writing or not, and equally immaterial whether or not the writing (if originally made at the trial) contained anything but a stipulation to discontinue the action. Either the oral agreement or the written stipulation to discontinue the action included, as a consequence, the vacation of the marine court judgment, whether so expressed or not.””
