    (June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 932; Pub. L. 96-417, title V,
    Sec. 501(21), Oct. 10, 1980, 94 Stat. 1742.)
                       HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES                   
      Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 41(5) (Mar. 3, 1911,
    ch. 231, Sec. 24, par. 5, 36 Stat. 1092; Mar. 2, 1929, ch. 488,
    Sec. 1, 45 Stat. 1475).
      Words "Customs Court" were substituted for "Court of Customs and
    Patent Appeals." Section 41(5) of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., is
    based on the Judicial Code of 1911. At that time the only court,
    other than the district courts, having jurisdiction of customs
    cases, was the Court of Customs Appeals which became the Court of
    Customs and Patent Appeals in 1929. The Customs Court was created
    in 1926 as a court of original jurisdiction over customs cases.
    (See reviser's note preceding section 251 of this title.)
      Words "any civil action" were substituted for "all cases" in view
    of Rule 2 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
      Changes were made in phraseology.
