President of the Portland Bank v. President of the Maine Bank
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
President of the Portland Bank v. President of the Maine Bank, 11 Mass. 204 (Mass. 1814)
President of the Portland Bank v. President of the Maine Bank
Opinion of the Court
The law knows no division of a day. By our practice, the last day of a term is considered the day on which all judgments are rendered, unless it appears otherwise from the record. Executions are not by law to issue until twenty-four hours after judgment is entered up. The whole of the last day of a term is therefore necessarily excluded, in computing the thirty days during which property * attached on the original [ * 206 ] writ is holden to respond the judgment. The day after the adjournment is the first of the thirty days,
Plaintiffs nonsuit.
Alderman vs. Phelps, 15 Mass. Rep. 225. — Davis vs. Blunt, 6 Mass. Rep. 487 — Heywood vs. Hildreth, 9 Mass. Rep. 393.
