HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 41(1) (Mar. 3, 1911,
ch. 231, Sec. 24, par. 1, 36 Stat. 1091; May 14, 1934, ch. 283,
Sec. 1, 48 Stat. 775; Aug. 21, 1937, ch. 726, Sec. 1, 50 Stat. 738;
Apr. 20, 1940, ch. 117, 54 Stat. 143).
Jurisdiction of federal questions arising under other sections of
this chapter is not dependent upon the amount in controversy. (See
annotations under former section 41 of title 28, U.S.C.A., and 35
C.J.S., p. 833 et seq., Secs. 30-43. See, also, reviser's note
under section 1332 of this title.)
Words "wherein the matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value
of $3,000, exclusive of interest and costs," were added to conform
to rulings of the Supreme Court. See construction of provision
relating to jurisdictional amount requirement in cases involving a
Federal question in United States v. Sayward, 16 S.Ct. 371, 160
U.S. 493, 40 L.Ed. 508; Fishback v. Western Union Tel. Co., 16
S.Ct. 506, 161 U.S. 96, 40 L.Ed. 630; and Halt v. Indiana
Manufacturing Co., 1900, 20 S.Ct. 272, 176 U.S. 68, 44 L.Ed. 374.
Words "all civil actions" were substituted for "all suits of a
civil nature, at common law or in equity" to conform with Rule 2 of
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Words "or treaties" were substituted for "or treaties made, or
which shall be made under their authority," for purposes of
brevity.
The remaining provisions of section 41(1) of title 28, U.S.C.,
1940 ed., are incorporated in sections 1332, 1341, 1342, 1345,
1354, and 1359 of this title.
Changes were made in arrangement and phraseology.
