Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 274 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, § 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.
