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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Tbe next ground for tbe motion [to dismiss tbe appeal] is that tbe record does not contain any of tbe evidence taken at the trial in tbe district court. Tins is strictly correct. Tbe affidavits taken by the respondent after the trial of what tbe witnesses say they testified at tbe trial are in no sense evidence taken at tbe trial. We fully concur with the district judge that there is no law or practice wbicb would justify him in granting tbe certificate asked by proctors for tbe claimant. Tbe rule 14 of this court, clause 6 (11 C. C. A. cv., 47 Fed. vii.), requires that the record, in cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, shall be made up ns provided in general admiralty rule No. 52 of rbe supreme court. This rule No. 52 requires that tbe record shall contain the testimony upon the part of the libelant and tbe testimony on the part of tbe defendant, unless the parlies agree, by their proctors, by written stipulation, that it may be omit ted. 'Chore is no such stipulation here. Clearly, ihe record is Incomplete. This court cannot pass on the merits of tbe case. Nor. in the absence of a stipulation by counsel, is it possible to supply the omission. Tv e must have the evidence taken at tbe trial.””
