Based on section
390 of title
28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Judicial Code and Judiciary (Oct. 15, 1914, ch. 323, § 25,
38 Stat. 740).
Word “criminal” was inserted before “contempt” in first line. Words “within section
402 of this title” were inserted after “contempt”.
The correct meaning and narrow application of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 390, are preserved, as section 389 of that title is incorporated in sections
402 and
3691 of this title.
Words “corporation or association” were inserted after “person”, thus embodying applicable definition of section
390a of title
28, U.S.C., 1940 ed. (See reviser’s note under section
402 of this title.)
