Section 1355 - Notes
SOURCE
(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 934; Pub. L. 96-417, title V,
Sec. 507, Oct. 10, 1980, 94 Stat. 1743; Pub. L. 102-550, title XV,
Sec. 1521, Oct. 28, 1992, 106 Stat. 4062.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Secs. 41(9) and 371(2) (Mar.
3, 1911, ch. 231, Secs. 24, par. 9, 256, par. 2, 36 Stat. 1092,
1160).
Word "fine" was inserted so that this section will apply to the
many provisions in the United States Code for fines which are
essentially civil. (See, also, section 2461 of this title and
reviser's note thereunder.)
Words "pecuniary or otherwise" were added to make this section
expressly applicable to both pecuniary and property forfeitures.
The original section was so construed in Miller v. United States,
1870, 11 Wall. 268, 20 L.Ed. 135; Tyler v. Defrees, 1870, 11 Wall.
331, and The Rosemary, C.C.A. 1928, 26 F.2d 354, certiorari denied
49 S.Ct. 23, 278 U.S. 619, 73 L.Ed. 542.
Changes were made in phraseology.
