Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Secs. 326, 499, 513, and 514
(R.S. Secs. 783, 795; Feb. 22, 1875, ch. 95, Sec. 3, 18 Stat. 333; Mar.
3, 1911, ch. 231, Secs. 220, 291, 36 Stat. 1152, 1167).
Sections 326, 499, 513, and 514 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., were
consolidated. They related to the bonds of particular officers, namely
the Clerk of the Supreme Court, the United States marshals, and the
clerks of the district courts. The revised section eliminates all
inconsistent provisions of such sections.
The requirement that certified copies be furnished is new.
The other provisions of sections 326, 499, 513, and 514 of title 28,
U.S.C., 1940 ed., are now incorporated in sections 544 and 952 of this
title.
Changes were made in phraseology.
