444 FEDERAL REPORTER. �letter, Exliibit No. 1, appeared to be an answer, was testified to by the witness as being enclosed in such a stamped envelope, bearing the postmark of the Trenton office, and he testified that he delivered it to the superintendant of the registered letter department at the New York post-office on the sixth of November, 1879, the day after its date, and the day before the date of Exhibit No. . 1. The argument is that this evi- dence shows such a deviation from the System of business on which this presumption resta that the presumption fails. We think, however, that there is nothing in this evidence which Controls or prevents the application of the general ruie of evidence that the regular postmark is presumptive evidence of the mailing of the letter. It does not show, as def endant's counsel claims, any "gross irregularities on the part ôf officiais of the post-office, or that the supposed System is so disre- garded as to be no System." Notwithstanding the occasional departures from the rule shown, which appears to have been in aid of justice, the general rule remains that the postmark is an indication that the letter offered in evidence bas been through the mails. �Upon the whole case, therefore, we ônd no error upon the trial, and the motion for a new trial must be overruled. ���BwENSON w.
