80102 46 App.:724. R.S. §4241.

In subsection (a), the words "the district court of the United States for a judicial district of Florida" are substituted for "the district court for the district of Florida" because Florida now has more than one judicial district.

In subsection (b)(1), the words "properly equipped" are substituted for "properly and sufficiently fitted and equipped" to eliminate unnecessary words.
