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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The proprietor of a dock lias no right to invite a boat to use that berth for business purposes, when the situation is such that no work can be done there without exposing the boat to great danger from an existing defect, which could have been discovered and removed by the exercise of a fair degree of prudence. To permit so dangerous an object as the sunken spile to remain where any person has attempted to locate it constitutes a breach of duty and act of negligence for which the defendants must respond.””
