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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule Is well settled that in cases on appeal in admiralty, when the questions of fact are dependent upon- conflicting evidence, the decision of the District Judge, who had the opportunity of seeing the witnesses and judging their appearance, manner, and credibility, will not be reversed, unless it clearly appears that the decision is against the evidence.” The Alijandro, 56 Fed. 621 , 6 C. C. A. 54 .”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““We are of opinion that the case is not presented in such a manner as to require at our hands a review of the testimony. The record on appeal only contains the ‘judge’s notes of testimony,’ and deposition of one witness. Rule 52 (admiralty rules) describes what shall constitute the record on appeal to the circuit courts, and, among other things, provides that it shall contain ‘the testimony on the part of the libelant, and any exhibits not annexed to the libel; the testimony on the part of the defendant, and any exhibit not annexed to his pleading.’ In making up the record the clerk may omit therefrom ‘any of the pleadings, testimony, or exhibits which the parties, by their proctors, shall by written stipulation agree may be omitted, and such stipulation shall be certified up with the record.’ No such stipulation appears in the record. There is no certificate that the notes of the testimony contain all the material evidence.””
