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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Section 256 corrects a deficiency in existing law. At present, a crewman who intends to reship on another vessel may be paid off and discharged if due notice of the proposed action is given by the master of the vessel, or by the crewman himself, to the immigration officer in charge at the port of arrival. However, no sanctions are provided for a failure to give such notice. Under the language of the bill, the consent of the Attorney General must be obtained prior to the paying off or the discharging of an alien crewman, and failure to obtain such consent will subject the owner, master, commanding officer, agent, consignee, or charterer to liability for a fine of $1,000 for each violation and clearance of the vessel or aircraft may be refused until such liability is satisfied.””
