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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Certainly the hauling of the logs, timber, and lumber for the derrick was ‘logging and lumbering’ in the sense in which these terms are used'in the statute. It has been held that a mere laborer employed as a part of a logging outfit engaged in cutting down trees and sawing them into logs comes within the terms of the statute. Bell v. Hanson Lumber Co., 151 La. 824 , 92 South. 350 ; Dick v. Gravel Logging Co., 152 La. 994 , 95 South. 99 .””
