cause of chapter 227 of title 18. The words ‘‘in the dis-
cretion of the court’’ are omitted as unnecessary.
In subsection (c), the words ‘‘section 2279 of title 18’’
are substituted for ‘‘section forty-six hundred and six
of the Revised Statutes’’ in the Act of Mar. 31, 1900, be-
cause R.S. § 4606 (formerly classified to 46 U.S.C. 708
(1946 ed.)) was replaced by 18 U.S.C. 2279 in the codifica-
tion of title 18 by the Act of June 25, 1948 (ch. 645, 62
Stat. 683). The words ‘‘section 9 of act August 2, 1882 (22
Stat. 189)’’ are omitted because that law was repealed
by section 4(b) of Public Law 98–89 (Aug. 26, 1983, 97
Stat. 600).

tled to the privileges of a documented vessel.
