    Holt v. Richardson.
    When a time is to be computed' after a certain date, it is meant that such day should be excluded in the computation. Accordingly, where the defendant in a dispossessoiy warrant issued under the Civil Code, § 4821, is given notice by the officer on November 7th (which falls on Thursday) that “after the expiration of three days (not counting Sundays or public holidays)” the officer will evict him unless he flies the statutory counter-affidavit, the defendant has three lay or working days, viz., the 8th, 9th, and 11th of November, within which to file his defense, and the officer can not legally evict him before November 12th.
