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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well established that where money is advanced to meet such claims as in themselves have liens according to the rules of admiralty, a lien also exists for such money. But, before a lien exists for money advanced, it must be clearly shown that the purposes for which it is advanced are entitled to a lien. If advanced for the purpose of paying seaman’s wages, necessary supplies and repairs, or anything else to which a lien in admiralty attaches in that ease, a lien attaches to such money, but not otherwise.””
