June 12, 1916, ch. 143, 39 Stat. 225;
May 29, 1924, ch. 209, 43 Stat. 243). A provision for furnishing rooms and accommodations at Sterling was omitted as obsolete upon advice from the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts that Federal accommodations are now available. A provision authorizing adjournment at Denver when there is not business for terms at other places, is incorporated in section 138 of this title. Provisions as to clerk’s and marshal’s deputies and maintenance of offices were deleted as covered by section 541 [see 561], 542 [see 561], and 751 of this title.
