Brudenell v. Vaux , 4 F. Cas. 469 ( 1794 )

Dettnition — “ Months. ”

[“Months,” as used in the Pennsylvania act (Dali. Laws, 112) requiring mortgages to be recorded within six months from their date, means calendar months.]

The question in this cause arose upon the act of assembly for recording mortgages (1 Dali. Laws, 112), the mortgage of the defendants haying been recorded after the expiration of six lunar, but within six calendar, months from the date; and THE COURT, having compared this with other acts of the legislature, were of opinion, that by the word “months” calendar months were intended.
