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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Exceptional circumstances will sometimes lead a court of admiralty to pronounce a claim stale after a lapse of time less than the legal statutory period of limitation. Where there is nothing exceptional in the case, the court will govern itself by the analogies of the common-law limitations.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“,“In those cases where it is held that the respondent must show that some special interest has been prejudiced by the delay, in order to avail of the defense of staleness, it will be found that the delay was for less than the period prescribed by the local statute in common ilaw actions.””
