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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The contract in this case, being for supplies, is a maritime contract, within the ordinary jurisdiction of the admiralty courts. Upon such a contract and all its incidents, the rights and remedies of the parties are reciprocal. The contract being maritime, tbe admiralty, says Curtis, J., in Church v. Shelton, 2 Curt. 271 , 274, Fed. Cas. No. 2,714, ‘will proceed to enquire into all its breaches, and all the damages suffered thereby, however peculiar they may be, and whatever issues they involve.’ ””
