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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In cases oí a partial loss there is no injustice in allowing the probable profits of a charter for the short time during which the vessel is laid up for repairs, but in case of a total loss the recovery of such profits is limited to the voyage which the vessel is then performing, since, if the owners were entitled to recover the profits of a future voyage or charter, there would seem to be no limit to such right, so far as respects the time of its continuance; and. if the vessel was under a charter which had months and years to run. the allowance of the probable profits of such charter might work a great practical injustice to the owners of the vessel causing the injury.””
