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.

““As to the first question, we are satisfied that the Circuit Court had jurisdiction of the cause. Taking the eleventh and twentieth sections of judiciary Act Sept. 24, 1789, c. 20, 1 Stat. 78 . 83, in connection, it is clear that the jurisdiction attaches where the property demanded exceeds $500 in value, and if upon the trial the demandant recover less, he is not allowed his costs, but, at the discretion of the court, may be adjudged to pay costs.””
