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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In this case we have looked to the testimony of the witnesses as to the common meaning of the term “dolls” in connection with the merchandise itself and in connection with the definitions of lexicographers and technical authorities and after thoroughly considering the same we are satisfied that the miniature forms or figures of football players in this case are not dolls within the meaning of that term as used in said paragraph 1513. We accordingly hold that the said merchandise is not dutiable under said paragraph, as assessed by the collector.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“These cases require no discussion by us for the reason that paragraph 1513 of the Tariff Act of 1930 differs greatly from previous provisions in other tariff acts with relation to dolls, and it would seem that under said paragraph all dolls, whether toys or not, are included therein. However, that question is not before us, and it is not necessary to determine it here.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“* * * Dolls are unquestionably included in and covered by said paragraph 1513, whether toys or not, but the above decision is no evidence of whether a miniature figure is or is not a doll. [Italics supplied.]”
