Der, contend that three of the four counts
against him must be set aside, as the Govern

berry took place, nor designate the jurisdiction
that has cognizance of the offence. Ii is clear
that the mails were robbed four times between
New York and Springfield; but in three cases
MIR. Holbrook indentifying the spot where
one Of them took place. the question arises,
did the robbery take place 10 the State Of
New York, Connecticut or Massachusetts?
This is an interesting question, AS the rot-
berry took place on the cars when they were
going at the rate of 40 miles an hour. Per-
haps some further legislation will be neces-
sary in order that mail robberies ON the cars
may he placed within the jurisdiction FROM
whence the mails start, or through which
they pass.
