TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
[§ 1157
Stat. 244; July 23, 1892, ch. 234, 27 Stat. 260; May 25, 1918,
ch. 86, § 1, 40 Stat. 563; June 30, 1919, ch. 4, § 1, 41 Stat.
4; Mar. 5, 1934, ch. 43, 48 Stat. 396; June 27, 1934, ch. 846,
48 Stat. 1245; June 15, 1938, ch. 435, § 1, 52 Stat. 696).
The revision of section 244 of title 25, U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
Indians, conforms with the effect thereon of sections
241, 244a, and 254 of said title.
The provisions relating to scope of term ‘‘Indian
country’’ were omitted as unnecessary in view of defi-
nition of ‘‘Indian country’’ in section 1151 of this title.
Mandatory punishment provisions were rephrased in
the alternative and provision for commitment for non-
payment of fine was deleted. Such change was also rec-
ommended by United States District Judge T. Blake
Kennedy. (See reviser’s note under section 1154 of this
title.)
The exception of intoxicating liquor for scientific,
sacramental, medicinal or mechanical purposes was in-
serted for the same reason that makes this exception
appropriate to section 1262 of this title.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
1949 ACT
This section [section 28] adds to section 1156 of title
18, U.S.C., a paragraph to conform this section and sec-
tion 1154 of such title more closely to the laws relating
to intoxicating liquors in the Indian country as they
have been heretofore construed.
Editorial Notes
AMENDMENTS

title’’ for ‘‘fined not more than $500’’ after ‘‘first of-
fense, be’’ and for ‘‘fined not more than $2,000’’ after
‘‘subsequent offense, be’’ in first par.
1949—Act May 24, 1949, inserted last par.
