(1) Two or more adverse claimants, of diverse citizenship as defined in subsection (a) or (d) of [section 1332 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title28-section1332&num=0&edition=prelim), are claiming or may claim to be entitled to such money or property, or to any one or more of the benefits arising by virtue of any note, bond, certificate, policy or other instrument, or arising by virtue of any such obligation; and if (2) the plaintiff has deposited such money or property or has paid the amount of or the loan or other value of such instrument or the amount due under such obligation into the registry of the court, there to abide the judgment of the court, or has given bond payable to the clerk of the court in such amount and with such surety as the court or judge may deem proper, conditioned upon the compliance by the plaintiff with the future order or judgment of the court with respect to the subject matter of the controversy.

TITLE 28—JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
§ 1396
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 104, 106, 107, and
108, and section 3745(c) of title 26, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Inter-
nal Revenue Code (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, §§ 43, 45, 46, 47,
36 Stat. 1100; Feb. 10, 1939, ch. 2, § 3745(c), 53 Stat. 460).
This section consolidates section 3745(c) of title 26,
U.S.C., 1940 ed., with sections 104, 106, 107, and 108 of
title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., relating to venue in civil pro-
ceedings to recover and enforce civil fines, penalties,
and forfeitures, pecuniary or otherwise. Subsection (a)
is based on said section 104 of title 28 and said section
3745(c) of title 26. Subsections (b) and (c) consolidate
such sections 106 and 107 of title 28. Subsection (e) is
based on such section 108 of title 28.
Subsection (b) substituted words ‘‘may be prosecuted
in any district where such property is found’’ for ‘‘shall
be prosecuted in the district where the seizure is
made,’’ to include not only property seized, but also all
other property subject to forfeiture.
Words ‘‘civil’’ and ‘‘fine’’ were inserted to make this
section applicable to the many provisions of the United
States Code for fines essentially civil. (See reviser’s
note under section 1355 of this title.)
Provisions of section 3745(c) of title 26, U.S.C., 1940
ed., that such suit may be brought ‘‘before any other
court of competent jurisdiction’’ were omitted as mis-
leading surplusage, since United States district courts,
under section 1355 of this title, have exclusive jurisdic-
tion.
Subsection (d) was added for completeness and clar-
ity.
Changes were made in phraseology.
SENATE REVISION AMENDMENT

enue Code, is o
