HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 274 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch.
231, Sec. 186, 36 Stat. 1143; Feb. 5, 1912, ch. 28, 37 Stat. 61).
A provision that a witness should not be disqualified by color
was omitted as obsolete and unnecessary, since no such
disqualification could be invoked in absence of statutory
authority.
A provision that the United States could examine any plaintiff or
party interested is covered by the word "exempt" in the revised
section, and by section 2504 of this title.
Changes were made in phraseology.
