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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The owner turned over a new seawoi'thy barge to the charterer, and, inasmuch as she received injuries which rendered her unsea-worthy while in the possession of the latter, the negligence of the charterer is presumed in the absence of any explanation. These unexplained injuries caused her sinking and the loss of the cargo. The charterer is therefore primarily liable for libel-ant’s [the owners of the cargo] damages as between it and the scow Harper No. 145.” (Matter in brackets added.) ■”
