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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The libelant went upon tlie ship lawfully, and in the discharge of his duties. The open hatch was not in the situation of (he ordinary open hatches for a discharge of cargo, such as may be expected to remain open in port, and whieli persons going upon (lie ship must avoid at their peril. This hatch was in a comparatively narrow passageway along (lie side of the ship. To leave it open, in an uncovered passageway, which was perfectly dark, I must hold negligence in respect to tlie libelant, whose duties called him there.””
