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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The right of plaintiff to a lien turns on the question of whether the contract for the sale of the material, machinery, etc., and the installation of it on the new boat, was entire or whether it was severable ... It will be observed that the written contract fixes a separate price for the articles sold and specifies a time for delivery; but it also provided that plaintiff should install the machinery and be paid specified wages for his services during the period of installation.””
