Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he time within which any act provided by law is to be done, shall be computed by excluding the first day and including the last, unless the last day is a Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal holiday, and then it shall also be excluded.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The general rule in this country is “that the word ‘month,’ in whatever connection used, signifies a calendar month, regardless of the number of days it contains, unless there is something to indicate that a meaning to the contrary was intended ...” 86 C.J.S., Time § 10 [1954]. The author of this same annotation, a little further on m the same section, says: and it runs from a given day in one month to a day of the corresponding number in the next or specified succeeding month, except where the last month has not so many days, in which event, it expires on the last day of that month. Thus, a month is the period of time intervening between a given date and the corresponding date of the next succeeding month by name, and since the number of days in the calendar month varies, the number of days in such period is necessarily limited by the number of days in the month during which the computation begins, and also in which it ends.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““within the thirty day period from the receipt of notice ’ ’.”
