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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Wreck Statute ... is not in conflict with [the Limitation Statute] , but is in harmony with its provisions, for the duty imposed on the owner by the Wreck Statute is a personal one . The Wreck Statute is a criminal statute . . . and the Limitation Statute cannot have any effect in limiting its provisions. Neglect alone predicated on the conduct of the owner does not preclude limitation of liability, but the violation of a statute criminal in its nature does preclude limitation of liability. [ 53 F.2d at 411 ].”
