   WILLIAMS, J.

The defendant in error moves to dismiss this appeal, on the ground that the case-made was not sighed and settled within the time allowed. The motion for a new trial was overruled on October 4, 1910, when plaintiff in error was given .60 days in which to prepare and serve the case-made. On November 26, 1910, the court allowed a further extension of 30 days from the 3d day of December, 1910, to make and serve his case-made. The case-made was served on the 3d day of January, A. D. 1911. We quote the following statutes in force in this state:

“Holidays are every Sunday, the first day of January, the twenty-second day of February, the fourth day of July, the twenty-fifth day of December., * * *” (Section 2954, Comp. Laws 1909; section 2704, St. 1890.)
“If the first day of January, the twenty-second day of February, the fourth day of July or the twenty-fifth day of December falls upon a Sunday, the Monday following is a holiday.” (Section 2955, Comp. Laws 1909; section 2705, St. 1890.)
“Whenever any act of a secular nature, other than a work of necessity, or mercy, is áppointed by law or contract to be performed upon a particular day, which day falls upon a holiday, such act may be performed upon the next business day, with the same effect as if it had been performed upon the day appointed.” (Section 2957, Comp. Laws 1909; section 2707, St. 1890.)
“The time within which an act is to be done shall be computed by excluding the first day, and including the last; if the last day be Sunday, it shall.be excluded.” (Section 6258, Comp. Laws 1909; section 4629, St. 1893.) See, also, Scruton v. Hall, 6 Kan. App. 714, 50 Pac. 964.

Under section 6258, suprax the 3d day of December must be excluded in the computation. That would leave 28 days in the month of December, and by including the last day that would bring the 30 days allowed to include the 2d day of January, 1911. But the 1st day of January, 1911, fell on Sunday, and under sections 2954, 2955, and 2.957, supra, the last day, to wit, Monday, which was the 2d day of January, A. D. 1911, became a holiday. The time within which the plaintiff in error was permitted to serve his case-made having expired upon a holiday - under section 2957, such case-made was permitted to be served upon the next day, which was the 3d day of January, A. D. 1911.

'We conclude the case-made was therefore served in time, and the motion to dismiss the .appeal is accordingly overruled.

All the Justices concur.
