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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * When a judge hears a case without a jury, he is supposed to act only on proper evidence, and if on review it is found that the evidence properly admitted justifies the decree it ought to be affirmed, and if not it ought to be reversed. Weems v. George, 13 How. 196 , 14 L. Ed. 108 ; Mammoth Min. Co. v. Salt Lake Machine Co., 151 U. S. 447 , 14 S. Ct. 384 , 38 L. Ed. 229 ; West v. East Coast Cedar Co. (C. C.) 110 F. 725 ; Streeter v. Sanitary Dist. of Chicago, 133 F. 124 , 66 C. C. A. 190 ; Ware v. Pearsons, 173 F. 878 , 98 C. C. A. 364 . In all these and many other eases the rule laid down by Chief Justice Marshall in Field v. United States, 9 Pet. 202 , 9 L. Ed. 94 , has been followed : “ ‘As the cause was * * * not tried by a jury, the exception to the admission of evidence was not properly the subject of a bill of exceptions. But if the District Court improperly admitted the evidence, the only effect would be that this court would reject that evidence, and proceed to decide the cause as if it were not on the record. It would not, however, of itself constitute any ground for a reversal of the judgment.’ ””
