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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““And no presumption can be safely indulged in against the fact that there were other competitors of complainants besides respondents, other edgers, and other infringers. If the other edgers are conceded to be inferior, they were cheaper, and the testimony shows were salable; and there are suits pending against other infringers. In this condition of things and the evidence, it would be incurring too much risk of doing injustice to decide that plaintiffs would have made the sales which respondents made. In other words, that the purchasers from respondents would not have bought them or another, some other edger, or bought the same edger from another infringer, hut would have bought of plaintiffs at a higher price; that they would not have done what the witness said they did do. I do not think, therefore, that the evidence sustains the finding of the master that the plaintiffs incurred $1,742.62 damages by respondents’ sales.””
