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.
““Though marines are not in some senses seamen, and their duties are in some respects different, yet they are, while employed on hoard public vessels, persons in the naval service, persons subject, to the orders of naval officers, persons under the government of the naval code' as to punishment, and persons amenable to the Navy Department. Their very name of ‘marines’ indicates the place and nature of their duties generally. And, beside the analogies of their duties in other countries, their first creation here to serve on board ships expressly declared them to be a part of the crews of each of said ships. Act March 27, 1794, c. 32, § 4, 1 Stat 330. Their pay was also to be fixed in the same way as that of the seamen.””
