Opinion

The Court

(Thruston, J., absent,)

instructed the jury, that evidence of leaving the notice at the post-office, was not sufficient evidence of notice, to charge the defendant; but that if the jury were satisfied by the evidence, that the defendant actually received the notice, on the day on which it was put into the post-office, the notice was sufficient. The Court, however, did not give any opinion whether the notice was in due time.
