The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

1. ““The result is that the power to direct the marshal to furnish meals for jurors at the expense of the government while they are deliberating- upon their verdicts, in charge of an officer of the court, is one of the inherent incidental powers of the circuit and district courts of Ihe United States, which they may exercise in any case before them whether the United States are or are not parties to them. The disbursements for such meals, made by the marshal pursuant to the exercise of this power by the courts, are expenses necessarily incurred for some of the ‘other contingencies’ referred to in the act of 1853 regulating the fees and costs of marshals and others (10 Stat. p. 105, c. 80; Rev. St. § 839); and the claim of the plaintiff in error against the United States for these disbursements should have been allowed.””
