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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The finding of the referee is entitled to the same consideration as that of a district judge upon conflicting evidence, as in an admiralty case, or in any other case where the judges pass upon the facts, if that finding is under review by an appellate tribunal. The Inca (C. C. A.) 148 Fed. 367 [ 78 C. C. A. 273 ], opinion of Meek, District Judge, sitting with Pardee and Shelby, Oir-cuit Judges. This court is an'appellate tribunal from the rulings of the referee, but when there is evidence to support those rulings — however ingenious the suggestions to the contrary — the court will not be insistent to scan those rulings so as to find some point on which there might be a difference as to their correctness. A fine argument can be based upon almost any accumulations of facts, both pro and con, but, when the court has intrusted this particular duty to the referee, and it has been apparently well performed, the ruling should not be disturbed.””
