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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In regard to the schooner, where an appearance has been entered for the owners, and they have been heard upon the question of the amount of salvage proper to be allowed of the proceeds of the vessel, considering, in connection with the circumstances already mentioned, the small value of the property saved, the value of the salving ship, and the fact that, had not the schooner been taken in tow, she would have been abandoned, a water logged wreck, in the track of vessels bound to New York, I am of the opinion that one-haif of the net proceeds of the schooner must be allowed to the salvors for salvage.””
