Where, by the rules or practice of the court, any subsequent proceeding in a cause is required to be had within a limited time, or within a certain number of days from or after any previous proceeding, as from the entry of an order or the service of a notice or other paper in the causé, the whole of the day on which the order was entered, or the notice or other paper was served, is to be excluded in the computation of time ; so as to give the full time after that day. But where previous notice of a motion, or of any other proceeding in the suit, is required to be given, the whole of the day on which the notice was served is to be included in the computation of time, and the day upon which the motion is to be made, or other proceeding had, is excluded. Applying these principles to the case under consideration, it will be found that the replication was served within the time required by the rules of the court, and that the entry of the order to produce witnesses was regular. The complainant had twenty full days after the 15th of June, to file exceptions to the answer; so that the answer did not become perfect, or in the language of the rule, was not to be “ deemed sufficient” until after the 5th of July. The complainant, therefore, had ten entire days after that time to file and serve her replication.
The complainant’s proceedings being regular, it was not necessary for her to make any application to the court on the subject until the defendant should take some positive step in the cause which was irregular and inconsistent with her legal rights. A mere notice from the defendant’s solicitor that he intended to proceed in a manner >vhich would be irregular, did not render an application to the court necessary on her part; especially as her solicitor protested against the intended proceeding as irregular. If the defendant had proceeded to place the cause upon the calendar for hearing, upon bill and answer, the complainant might *149have applied to the court to strike the.cause from the calendar, with costs, for the irregularity.
The motion to set aside the order to produce proofs must be denied, with costs.
