(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 947.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 677 (R.S. § 896; Apr. 5, 1906, ch. 1366, § 3, 34 Stat. 100).
Words “authenticated by the consul or vice consul” were substituted for “certified under the hand and seal of such officer”, for clarity. Words “in the courts of the United States”, were omitted after “admissible”. Such papers should be so admitted in all courts consistently with sections 1738 and 1739 of this title.
See also Rule 44 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Changes were made in phraseology.
