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.
““There has been much conflict in the courts as to the meaning of the new rule, but since its adoption the Supreme Court, in The Lottawanna, 21 Wall. 580 [ 22 L. Ed. 654 ], held that the District Courts of the United States, having jurisdiction of the contract as a maritime one, might enforce laws given for its security, even when created by the state laws. The inference is plain that the court meant to affirm that no such jurisdiction existed when the contract was not of a maritime nature.””
