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 policy sued on is one of Marine Insurance. The above set out, typewritten provision is clear and unambiguous, and by its express terms purports to be a warranty. It is an express stipulation as to the location of the vessel ‘during the entire terms of the policy.’ That provision quite plainly shows that the appellee did not consent to be liable in the event of a loss or destruction of the main vessel occurring at a place other than the one specified in the provision. It negatives the conclusion that appellant agreed to be liable for the destruction of the vessel while it was tied up at a point on the Florida side of the St. Mary’s river three and one-half miles up the stream from the town of St. Mary’s. A warranty as to the place where the policy stipulates the insured vessel is to be located during the period covered by the policy makes the right of the insured to recover for damages or losses dependent upon the vessel being at the stated place when the damage or loss occurs; and if damage or loss occurs when the vessel is at a place other than the one named in the policy the insured has no right to recover on the policy, though that place is quite as safe as the one named in the policy.”
