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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court expressly recognized the general principle that after service for the stipulated period, and more particularly in the case of service on board a coasting vessel, refusal to pay full wages because of alleged incompetence or negligence should be discouraged. I do not think the inconvenience and expense of supplying the libelant’s place at Apalachicola, which is assigned as the reason for permitting the libelant to complete the voyage as ho had begun it, are sufficient to take this case out of the general rule.” Dodge, J., in The Sadie O. Sumner (D. C.) 142 Fed. 611 , 613.”
