Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 570 (Jan. 7, 1925, ch. 33, 43 Stat. 726).

Changes were made in phraseology.

This section [section 55] corrects section 3612 of title 18, U.S.C., so that the reference in such section will be to the correct section number in title 28, U.S.C., as revised and enacted in 1948.

1949—Act May 24, 1949, substituted “section 2042” for “section 852”.
