These mixed cases, however, will be found, not cases of tort, but of contract, which do not depend altogether upon locality as the test of jurisdiction, such as contracts of material-men, for supplies, charter-parties, and the like.

How often courts cite the case defining “mixed cases”
Court decisions citing the opinion that defined “mixed cases” — 630 in all, by decade. Counts are citations to the defining case as a whole, not verified uses of the term.
