A vary iuiporteut quMtion has boen raised and decided iu the Hujwnor Court of New York, upou this subject. The particular ease was that of a policy of life insurance expiring on Sunday, the premium upon the renewal of which was not ten dered till the following Monday. Dut the discus sion involved the whole question us to fulfilling any contract the tluy fordoing which comes up ou Suuday. The general notion is, thut in ull ouch eases the contract must I>e performed, or the offer made to do it, on tire preceding Saturday.— Rut the Court iu this case overruled the notion. The decision is a very interesting one, and goes largely into an investigation of the legal history of the Sabbath. The Court say*:—“The rule wo* stated in un qualified language by Justice Brownson, in Halter vs. Burt, (2D WeodaU 2(k, ‘I agree to the doctrine laid down l.y Would, Justice, in Avery vs. Stew art, ‘1 Coma., Rep. hi*,; that .Sunday cannot, for the purpose of performing a contract, be regarded os a day in law, aud it should, for that purpose, he considered as struck from ibe calendar. Iu computing the time mentioned iu n. contract for doing an act. intervening Sundays are to l>e counted, bat when the day of performance falls on Sunday, it is not to be taken into the computa tion. “It appears tnu.l from this review of the law, thut the Court i* warranted in saying that when, from accident or mutual error, the day of fulfill ing an agreement lulls upon Sunday, there is enough of principle and authority to justify the party in .hdi rring his performance to the Monday ensuing, without impairing a right or inclining a forfeiture.” Keccptlon of (hi* New Hex lean MlnMrr Yc.-terday the President received officially Ho nor Don J.
