A notice cannot lawfully be served on Sunday.

This was a motion for judgment for an instalment on a joint subscription by the defendants, in the handwriting of Mr. Bradley, for one hundred shares. The ten days' notice, required by the fifth section of the charter, was served on Mr. Carroll on Sunday.
