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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In this ease it seems that the defendant corporation might go into New Hampshire, and there sue the plaintiff as a New Hampshire corporation in the federal court, although it could not, bring such suit in the district of Massachusetts against the New Hampshire corporation, because no service upon the New Hampshire corporation as such could bo got m this district, if for no other reason. It has been determined by J udge Lowell that in some cases non-resiclent corporations may be served with process from United States courts in other districts than those in which they were chartered, and where they are found to be doing business or domiciled.' But this rule would not, we suppose, extend to a case like the present.””
