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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * The payment of advance wages to seamen has been one of the great evils of the merchant marine service. It has been one of the methods employed to defraud the seaman out of a large share of his wages, and, prior to congressional legislation upon the subject, courts of admiralty were continually called upon to interpose their power and authority for the protection of the seamen from this method of imposition. The reports are full of eases declaring- in the strongest terms against the many schemes that have been devised to obtain possession of the seamen’s wages, even under the form of law.””
