62 9 Cyc. 297. In the English case of Ex parte Cote, L. R. 9 Ch. 27, it was held that the posting of a letter in France, where it was subject to be reclaimed by the sender until its dispatch from the office of transmission, did not transfer title to certain bills of exchange inclosed. But in Canterbury v. Sparta, 91 Wis. 53, 64 N. W. 311, 30 L. R. A. 845, 51 Axa. St. Rep. 870, upon a very similar state of facts, the sender was held liable to the extent of an inclosed draft, even though he had reclaimed it from the post office authorities. And see, also, McDonald v. Chemical Nat. Bank, 174 U. S. 610, 19 Sup. Ct. 787, 43 L. Ed. 1106; Crown Point Iron Co. v. Ætna Ins. Co., 127 N. Y. 608, 28 N. E. 653, 14 L. R. A. 147. See "Contracts," Dec. Dig. (Key-No.) § 26; Cent. Dig. §§ 119, 120.
63 Scottish-American Mortgage Co. v. Davis (Tex. Civ. App.) 72 S. W. 217 (quoting with approval the statement of Vredenburgh, J., in Hallock v. Ins. Co., 26 N. J. Law, 268, 2S0, that "the acceptor can no more overtake and countermand his letter mailed, than he can his words of acceptance after they have issued from his lips"). See "Contracts," Dec. Dig. (Key-No.) § 26; Cent. Dig. §§ 119, 120.
