HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §785 (R.S. §961). Word "actions" was substituted for "all suits brought," in view of Rule 2 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. For the same reason, words "according to equity," after "to recover so much as is due," were omitted. Words "or upon demurrer," after "default or confession of the defendant," were omitted in view of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 7(c), abolishing demurrers. Changes were made in phraseology. |
