7678 34 U.S.C. 1167. Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §38, 35 Stat. 1096.

The words "captor or" between "any" and "claimant" are omitted because the Act of March 3, 1899, ch. 413, §13, 30 Stat. 1007, repealed all laws authorizing the distribution of prize proceeds to captors. These words were apparently carried over inadvertently to §38 of the 1909 Act from the source of that section, namely R.S. 5441. The section is worded in the style of Title 18, U.S. Code.
