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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The necessity of the supplies is presumed from their nature, and from the fact that the master orders them; and, in the absence of other facts, the necessity for binding the vessel may also be presumed. But if the material- man knows that the captain has funds or means of his owners or of his own, credit to the vessel is not authorized, and no lien is created.””
