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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t is settled that the admiralty courts have exclusive jurisdiction over maritime liens, and that as other courts are without power to establish and enforce such liens, so they are without power to displace them.... The admiralty court, ...., cannot refuse to proceed, in an admiralty suit properly before it, wherein its jurisdiction over the property was complete before the bankruptcy proceedings were inaugurated, nor can it require the libellant, in order to get his lien established, to present and prosecute his claim in proceedings which though also before it, are not proceedings wherein admiralty jurisdiction can be exercised.”
