    34 U.S.C. 1147 and this section reflect--
    (1) Act of March 3, 1899, ch. 413, Sec. 13, 30 Stat. 1007, which 
repealed all laws authorizing distribution of prize proceeds to captors;
    (2) Acts of March 3, 1911, ch. 231, Sec. 128, 36 Stat. 1133, and 
February 13, 1925, ch. 229, Sec. 1, 43 Stat. 938, which defined the 
appellate jurisdiction of the United States circuit courts, and provided 
that the Supreme Court should not directly review district court 
decisions except in specified cases, not including prize cases; and
    (3) Act of June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 869, which repealed the 
Acts of February 13, 1925, and March 3, 1911, supra, but enacted similar 
provisions and changed the name of United States Circuit Courts of 
Appeals to United States Courts of Appeals for the several circuits.
    Reference to the court is omitted from 34 U.S.C. 1147 and from the 
revised section in view of the 1948 Act.
