`  == Mistake Again ==  I had previously corrected the error that this case established the postal accptance rule It did not.  A previous version correctly stated: ``This case in the first step towards establishing the postal acceptance rule (mailbox rule). It was not until 1892 in Henthorn v Fraser that the court determined the precise timing of the acceptance, that is the moment the letter of acceptance is posted. (See also Entores Ltd v Miles Far East Corporation [1955] 2 QB 327, CA).`` I invite comments, but I will correct this in the future.  Please read the case.   `
