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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““From all the testimony in the case it appears very clear: * * * “That the Adula was chartered to a Spanish subject for a voyage to Guantanamo, Santiago, or Manzanillo, for the purpose of bringing away refugees, and that such voy age was primarily, at least, a commercial one for the personal profit of the charterer. During such charter she was to a certain extent, pro hae vice, a Spanish vessel, and a notice to Solis [the charterer] of the existence of the blockade was a notice to the vessel.” Citing prize eases.”
