Sunday

The first day of the week is designated by this name; also, as the Lord's day, and as the sabbath. In computing the time of notices and rules in practice, where the last day falls on Sunday, it is usually excluded, and the party has the whole of the following Monday; but intermediate Sundays are included and counted as ordinary weekdays. So, in computing time under ordinary contracts, which call for payment or performance within a definite term, if the last day is Sunday, it is excluded, and the debtor party has the whole of the last day. But if the contract is one on which grace is allowed (and the same principle is probably applicable where the term prescribed in the contract is in the nature of a grace, as in the thirty days' interest clause in a mortgage, or in a clause of a policy giving the insured thirty days after due for payment of premium), Sunday is not excluded; grace having been given the party, it is not to be extended on account of Sunday.
