Section 1739 - Notes
SOURCE
(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 947.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 688 (R.S. Sec. 906).
Words "Possession of the United States" were substituted for "or
any country subject to the jurisdiction of the United States."
Words "or copies thereof" were added in two places. Copies have
always been used to prove records and books under section 688 of
title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., and the addition of these words
clarifies the former implied meaning of such section.
In the first paragraph of the revised section words "a judge of a
court of record" were substituted for words "the presiding justice
of the court" and in the second paragraph "judge" was substituted
for "presiding justice" for convenience and without change of
substance.
Words "and its Territories and Possessions" were added after
"United States", near the end of the section, in view of provisions
of section 688 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., for the admission of
records and books in any court or office in any other State,
Territory, or "in any such country." (Changed to "Possession" in
this section.)
See also Rule 44 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Changes were made in phraseology.
