Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

The statute has limited the lien formed by the attachment on mesne process to thirty days from the rendering of the judgment. It is not for this Court to extend the term ; nor do we see any reason why the last day of the thirty should be excluded because it happens to be Sunday, rather than any or all the Sundays during the time limited.

Plaintiff nonsuit.
