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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We think it clear that the act is applicable to cases of personal injury, and that the proportion, of a part owner’s liability for damages in a case of personal injury, if the injury occur without the privity or knowledge of any of the owners, is the proportion which his interest in the vessel boars to all the interests therein, and not more.””
