                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 177 (June 20, 1910, ch. 
310, Sec. 13, 36 Stat. 565; Mar. 4, 1921, ch. 149, 41 Stat. 1361; June 
7, 1924, ch. 332, 43 Stat. 642).
    The reference to Raton as a place of holding court was omitted on 
advice of the clerk that court is no longer held there.
    Provisions for furnishing rooms and accommodations at Las Vegas were 
omitted as obsolete upon advice of Director of the Administrative Office 
of the United States Courts that Federal accommodations are now 
available.
    Provision for adjournment or continuance in case of insufficient 
business by orders made anywhere in the district was omitted as covered 
by section 138 of this title.
    Provisions for transfer of causes, civil or criminal, from one place 
of holding court to another were omitted. Such provisions, as to civil 
cases, are covered by section 1404 of this title, and, as to criminal 
cases, are rendered unnecessary because of inherent power of the court, 
and Rules 18-20 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, relating to 
venue.
    Provisions for appointment of deputy clerks and deputy marshals and 
maintenance of offices at various cities were omitted as covered by 
sections 541 [see 561], 542 [see 561], and 751 of this title.
    The provision respecting court accommodations at Silver City was 
omitted as covered by section 142 of this title.
    Changes in arrangement and phraseology were made.
