M		When persons were convicted of manslaughter in England, they were formerly marked with this letter on the brawn of the thumb. 2. This letter is sometimes put on the face of treasury notes of the United States, and signifies that the treasury note bears interest at the rate of one mill per centum, and not one per centum interest. 13 Peters, 176.
