from that on which the motion for re-
hearing was overruled by the court OF
civil appeals, can not be excluded from
the computation. Such is the general
rule, although there are some conflicting
decisions. 1t was adopted by this court
after careful consideration In Bun vs.
Lewis i Texas, 70; and we have found no
case In this court which mobiles that de-
cision. When the time allowed for doing
an act is Very short II IL usual to ex-
clude Sunday. The principle would seem
to be that when but few days are al
low IN which to do the act 1t is not
to be presumed the Legislature intended
further to abbrevate 1t In effect by IN
Guiding day ordinarily observed as a
day OF cessation from all ordinary busi-
ness For example, when two days are
designated it is not reasonable to hold that
1t was the purpose to include Sunday,
when the practical effect of the ruling
would be to reduce the time to one day
only But where weeks are Included In
the time allowed, the reason does not
apply.
acts and those of u ministerial character
and 1t seems to be generally held that, In
the absence of statute ministerial acts
performed on Sunday are valid. The filing
of an application for writ OF error In
the court OF civil appeals Is the continue
alton OF "a suit and not Its commencement
we conclude, therefore. that an applica-
ton for writ of error may be lawfully
filed on a Sunday: but do not hold that
the clerk Is bound to do an official act
of that. character on that day
II follows from what we have said that
we think the file mark upon the paper on
Monday was too late; and Il remains
therefore to consider the effect Of the
clerks Endorsement as to its receipt on
sunday. Tho fist inference from the In
dorsemcnt l., that the application was
delivered to tho clerk for the purpose
Of fling it. and that the clerk received
It. but being doubtful as TO his power 10
place it upon the lle noted the fact and
date OF its receipt, aud marked 1t filed
uron the next day When Il pqper Is de-
posted with the clerk of coert for the
purnose of making it IL rart of the records
IN the cnSe, it is filed. When the indorse-
meut of the clerk shows this fact in any
words it is Sufficient.
The, motion is therefore overruled. but,
having examined the application, we also
conclude that II shows no error. and IT is
therefore refused.
