← Codification of the Bankruptcy Acts · Bankruptcy Act of 1867
When the Revised Statutes were enacted in 1874, the Bankruptcy Act of 1867 and its supplements were rewritten into Title LXI (§§ 4972–5132), plus four sections elsewhere: §§ 563, 630, 711 and 5419. In the second edition (1878), a source note in the margin beside each section cites the statute it was drawn from. These tables are built from those notes.

Notes
- Every section of the 1867 Act from § 1 through § 49 appears in the Revised Statutes. Section 50, which set when the Act took effect, is cited by no note.
- Many sections were split. Section 14 (the assignment and vesting of the bankrupt’s property) went into twelve R.S. sections.
- Several R.S. sections combine more than one source. A handful come wholly from the supplementary acts: §§ 4976, 4987, 5112 and 5123.
- R.S. § 5022 (“Prior acts of bankruptcy”) has no source note.
- The note for § 5123 dates the Act of February 13, 1873 (ch. 135) as “3 Feb.” That is a misprint in the Revised Statutes; the Statutes at Large print reads “Approved, February 13, 1873.”
