Appellant, who was the sheriff, levied on some goods apparently in possession of the execution defendant as his property.\nAppellees replevied, claiming under a chattel mortgage. It contained a provision which in terms reserved the right to sell in due course of retail trade, making it void as against creditors; but was good between the parties, and appellees claimed, first, that the execution was void for want of a valid judgment, and second, that they had taken possession before it came to the hands of the officer.\nThe judgment had been entered upon confession by attorney in vacation, under a power bearing date the same day, and declaring when it might be executed in these words: \u201cin term time or vacation at any time hereafter.\u201d\nIt was held that the language excluded the day of the date, and hence, that the confession on that day was unauthorized.\nIn cases of this character, which can arise only upon a statute or other instrument or express agreement, whereby an interest is to vest or an act is to be done within a time designated \u2014 the particular period intended, if uncertain of itself, is to be ascertained by its relation to a time that is certain or can be made so by proof; and this will depend upon the construction given to the terms \u2022 used to fix that relation or to .those employed to designate the time from which, by such relation, it is to be ascertained.\nThe former are generally \u201c from \u201d or \u201c after \u201d or both, wliich present the question whether they include or exclude the time last referred to; and the latter, if they do not specify that time in terms, fix it by reference to some act or' event, and then the question is, whether only the instant of its occurrence or the whole of that day is intended.\nFrom the many cases cited on the argument and those referred to therein, it appears that the differences among them, as affecting the point under consideration, relate to the definiteness or indefiniteness as to the duration of the time to be ascertained, or to the mode of designating that from which it is to be ascertained, according to which they may be grouped in three classes:\nFirst. Where the particular period sought, whether definite or indefinite, is to begin or be computed \u201cfrom\u201d or \u201cafter \u201d some recognized division of time eo nomine or its equivalent, as \u201c twenty days \u201d or any time after \u201c date,\u201d which is held to be equivalent to the day of the date.\nWhere it is after a time so specified there would seem to be no room for construction, nor any difficulty in arriving at the meaning from the natural import of the term, since what is expressed to be after can hardly be understood as intended to include what is during or on it.\nThe term \u201c from \u201d or \u201c from and after \u201d may not be so clear, as in Higgins v. Halligan, 46 Ill. 173. But in both these cases the rule is well settled that the time so specified is excluded, unless a contrary intention appears. Ewing v. Bailey, 4 Scam. 420; Waterman v. Jones, 28 Ill. 64; White v. Jones, 38 Id. 159; Bowman v. Wood, 41 Id. 203; Protection Life Ins. Co. v. Palmer, 81 Id. 83; Bigelow v. Wilson, 1 Pick. 494; Bemis v. Leonard, 118 Mass. 502; Cornell v. Moulton, 3 Denio, 12; Sheets v. Selden, 2 Wall. (U. S.) 177, 189.\nSecond. Where a definite period is to be computed from or after an act or event, as where an appeal bond is required to be filed within twenty days after the rendition of judgment, and the like.\nHere the event is used to fix a point of time. For general purposes the law regards a day, which is a continuous period of twenty-four hours commencing at midnight, as the unit of measure and takes no note of its fractions; or, perhaps more accurately, as a point, and therefore indivisible. Hence the time so designated is in general the whole of the day on which the event occurs.\nIn this class it appears that in Kentucky the day is included. Woods v. The Commonwealth, 11 Bush, 220, and Handley v. Cunningham, 12 Id. 402, following some early English cases, which, with dicta in others here, are reviewed in Bemis v. Leonard, supra; but as is shown by the authorities above cited, the rule now established in England and generally in the ' United States, is otherwise. See as to this State, besides the Illinois cases supra, Vairin v. Edmonson, 5 Gilm. 270; Roan v. Rohrer, 72 Ill. 582.\nIt is, however, not inflexible, but yields to the intention as manifested by other parts of the instrument or by the whole taken together, by the concurrent acts and declarations of the parties, and by all circumstances tending 1 to show it. Higgins v. Halligan, Bigelow v. Wilson, Bemis v. Leonard above cited. Nor is the legal fiction that a day is an indivisible point of time always adherred to. Ordinarily it works no injustice, but is useful for convenience and often necessary for certainty of computation.\nFor if the definite period sought were to be computed from a particular moment in the day, it would expire at the same moment of the last day; and since the question whether an act was done within the time would never arise except when it was very near the limit, according to any admissible ru e of computation, it might be difficult and hazardous to find the fact either way.\nThe usual difference of watches or the merest guessing of witnesses without watches as to the instant when the event occurred, from which the computation was to be made, might wrongfully and yet unavoidably defeat or effectuate a tender or other act on which important rights depended. This uncertainty and the injustice so easily possible as a result to either party, are avoided by means of the fiction in question, which is fair and protecting to both alike. For this reason, in such cases, the reckoning generally made is by entire days; Cornell v. Moulton, 3 Denio, 15. But obviously it has no application to a time of indefinite duration; and even where it is definite an exception is made and the fraction of a day regarded if the parties have so agreed, as in Grosvenor v. Magill, 37 Ill. 239, or in the absence of such agreement, if the ends of justice demand it, as where the priority of one legal right over another depends upon the order of events occurring on the same day. Brainard v. Bushnell, 2 Conn. 23; Westbrook Manuf\u2019g Co. v. Grant, 60 Me. 88 (11 A. Rep. 181.); First Mational Bank v. Burkhard, 100 U. S. 689.\nThe case at bar, however, comes strictly within neither of the classes above mentioned, but rather within the third and only remaining ene,viz.: that in which the beginning of a time of indefinite duration is fixed by an act or event. To such we perceive no reason and are aware of no authority for the application of the rule contended for. Mo computation is required, and hence no rule for computation. The only problem being to find the terminus a quo, if it is clearly fixed by the instrument the occurrence of a fraction presents no difficulty and furnishes no occasion for resorting to construction, legal fictions or artificial reasoning. Here the event employed to fix it was of such a character as to leave no room for doubt about its occurrence or question as to the time. Mo possible construction could involve the danger of a retroactive operation, and the natural import of the language was that the confession might be made at any hour or moment after the delivery of the power.\nThat such was the intention is also shown by the object in view and the concurrent acts of the parties. That object was the security of an execution lien at the earliest moment possible. The sheriff was on the premises with his writ within an hour, and yet the mortgagee under advice from the debtor given after he delivered the power of attorney, had preceded him. All understood that immediate judgment was authorized.\n\u25a0 If the language of the instrument were ambiguous it should be construed most favorably for the beneficiary, and against the party who executed it and is therefore presumed to have chosen that language. Walker v. Kimball, 22 Ill. 539; McCarty v. Hall, 24 Id. 343; Massie v. Belford, 68 Id. 290; Richardson v. The People, 85 Id. 499.\nOf all the cases cited or discovered, the only one directly in point, that is, in which a time of indefinite duration was fixed by an act or event, is that of The First National Bank v. Burkhard, 100 U. S. 689. There the defendant during bank hours executed an agreement \u201cto guarantee and make good to said bank any sum or sums which may hereafter be held against I. C., not exceeding $50,000.\u201d\nEarlier on the same day a check drawn by said I. C., had been deposited in the bank by the payee. Evidence was introduced to show a custom, known to those who dealt with it, not to receive absolutely any check so deposited until the close of bank hours, and there was also evidence to the contrary.\nThe jury were instructed that it was for them to find from the evidence whether it was so received before or after the execution of the agreement, and that if after, although on \"the same day, the plaintiff was entitled to recover; and the Supreme Court, while recognizing the legal fiction and rule of exclusion on the computation of a definite period from or after an event, held the instruction clearly proper.\nWe are of the opinion that the circuit court erred in excluding the judgment and execution.\nIt does not appear how it found upon \"the question of possession, nor was it material after the ruling here reviewed. We therefore refrain from comment upon the evidence on that subject, but for the error indicated, the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.\nReversed and remanded.", "type": "majority", "author": "Pleasants, J." } ], "attorneys": [ "Messrs.
