““In mentioning dates, it is not necessary that the exact date shall be given, but it may be stated as ‘ on or about a certain day,’ and in that case the plaintiff is not restricted to proof of that special day. The question to be determined at the trial in each case is whether the proof is so variant from the date alleged as to mislead the opposite party.””
