Codification
As originally enacted, this section contained reference to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Act June 25, 1936, substituted the district court of the United States for the District of Columbia for the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and act June 25, 1948, as amended by act May 24, 1949, substituted United States District Court for the District of Columbia for district court of the United States for the District of Columbia. However, the words United States District Court for the District of Columbia have been deleted entirely as superfluous in view of section 132(a) of Title 28, Judiciary and Judicial Procedure, which states that There shall be in each judicial district a district court which shall be a court of record known as the United States District Court for the district, and section 88 of Title 28 which states that the District of Columbia constitutes one judicial district.
Sections 1254, 1291, and 1292 of title 28, referred to in text, were substituted for sections 128 and 240 of the Judicial Code, as amended (U.S.C. title 28, secs. 225 and 347) on authority of act June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 869, the first section of which enacted Title 28, Judiciary and Judicial Procedure.
