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.
““The common expression that so many flays are allowed for loading and discharging a vessel is misleading. There is no obligation on the vessel to load or discharge within any fixed time. The duty is that of the charterers to furnish and receive the cargo, if the vessel be able to load and discharge it within a fixed period, viz. the lay days. For any delay caused by the vessel the lay dajs would be pro tanto extended, and any delays due to the charterer would of course be included in the lay days.””
