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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That it was only appointing persons to settle an account of what was due between the parties for the value of the different articles. The parties had no contemplation of submitting any differences to the award of arbitrators, and no such terms ought to be imposed upon them against their own meaning and the meaning of the stamp acts.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““But Avlua-o tlie office of ilio xiarty to whom the submission is made is limited to a simple appraisal of value, lie is expected to act on his own knowledge and opinions only; and hence neither evidence of witnesses nor statements of parties or counsel is contemplated.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““There was, here, no matter in controversy when the leases were executed, or, for that matter, when the appraisers were selected, and the object was to preclude or prevent the arising of differences, and not to settle differences which had arisen.””
