The note was admissible in evidence. The provision of the U. S. St. of 1866, c. 184, s. 9, that no instrument, not stamped according to law, shall be used or admitted in evidence in any court, until legally stamped, applies to the federal and not to the state courts. Green v. Holway, 101 Mass. 243, 249; Carpenter v. Snelling, 97 Mass. 452.

Judgment on the verdict.
