Sec. 7662. Duties of marshal

    The marshal shall--

        (2) keep safely in his custody all prize property under warrant 
    from the court;
        (3) report to the court any cargo or other property that he 
    thinks should be unloaded and stored or sold;
        (4) insure the prize property, if in his judgment it is in the 
    interest of all concerned;
        (5) have charge of the sale of the property, if a sale is 
    ordered, and be responsible for the conduct of the sale in the 
    manner required by the court, for the collection of the gross 
    proceeds, and for their immediate deposit with the Treasurer of the 
    United States or public depositary nearest the place of sale, 
    subject to the order of the court in the cause; and
        (6) submit to the Secretary of the Navy, at such times as the 
    Secretary designates, a full statement of the condition of the prize 
    and of the disposal made thereof.

    In clause (2) the words ``in his custody'' are inserted to make 
clear the fact that the marshal has custody of the prize property.
    In clause (5) the words ``and be responsible for'' are inserted for 
clarity, since 34 U.S.C. 1144 provides that the sale and deposit of the 
proceeds shall be made by the auctioneer and his agent rather than by 
the marshal, although the marshal supervises them. The words ``Treasurer 
of the United States or public depositary'' are substituted for 
``assistant treasurer'' to reflect the Act of May 29, 1920, ch. 214, 41 
Stat. 654.
