TIME, contracts, evidence, practice. The measure of duration., It is divided 
into years, months. days, (q.v.) hours, minutes, and seconds. It is also 
divided into day and night. (q.v.) 
     2. Time is frequently of the essence of contracts and crimes, and 
sometimes it is altogether immaterial. 
     3. Lapse of time alone is often presumptive evidence of facts which are 
otherwise unknown; an uninterrupted enjoyment of certain rights for twenty 
or twenty-one years, is evidence that the party enjoying them is legally 
entitled to them; after such a length of time, the law presumes payment of a 
bond or other specialty. 10 S. & R. 63, 383; 3 S. & R. 493; 6 Munf. R. 532;

     4. In the computation of time, it is laid down generally, that where 
the computation is to be made from an act done, the day when such act was 
done is included. Dougl. 463. But it will be excluded whenever such 
exclusion, will prevent a forfeiture. 4 Greenl. 298. Sed vide 15 Ves. 248; 1

6. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
TIME, pleading. The avertment of time is generally necessary in pleading; 
the rules are different, in different actions. 
     2.-1. Impersonal actions, the pleadings must allege the time; that is, 
the day, month and year when each traversable fact occurred; and when there 
is occasion to mention a continuous act, the period of its duration ought to 
be shown. The necessity of laying a time extends to traversable facts only; 
time is generally considered immaterial, and any time may be assigned to a 
given fact. This option, however, is subject to certain restrictions. 1st. 
Time should be laid under a videlicit, or the party pleading it will be 
required to, prove it strictly. 2d. The time laid should not be 
intrinsically impossible, or inconsistent with the fact to which it relates. 
3d. There are some instances in which time forms a material point in the 
merits of the case; and, in these instances, if a traverse be taken, the 
time laid is of the substance of the issue, and must be strictly proved. 
With respect to all facts of this description; they must be truly stated, at 
the peril of a failure for variance; Cowp. 671: and here a videlicit will 
give no help. Id. 6 T. R 463; 5 Taunt. 2; 4 Serg. & Rawle, 576; 7 Serg. & 
Rawle, 405. Where the time needs not to be truly stated, (as is generally 
the case,) it is subject to a rule of the same nature with one that applies 
to venues in transitory matters, namely, that the plea and subsequent 
pleadings should follow the day alleged in the writ or declaration; and if 
in these cases no time at all be laid, the omission is aided after verdict 
or judgment by confession or default, by operation of the statute of 
jeofails. But where, in the plea or subsequent pleadings, the time happens 
to be material, it must be alleged, and there the pleader may be allowed to 
depart from the day in the writ and declaration. 
     3.-2. In real or mixed actions, there is no necessity for alleging any 
particular day in the declaration. 3 Bl. Com. App. No. 1, Sec. 6; Lawes' Pl. 
App. 212; 3 Chit. Pl. 620-635; Cro. Jac. 311; Yelv. 182 a, note; 2 Chitt. 
Pl. 396, n. r; Gould, Pl. c. 3, Sec. 99, 100; Steph. Pl. 314; Com. Dig. 
Pleader, C 19. 
     4.-3. In criminal pleadings, it is requisite, generally, to show both 
the day and the year on which the offence was committed; but the indictment 
will be good, if the day and year can be collected from the whole statement, 
though they be not expressly averred. Com. Dig. Indictm. G 2; 5 Serg. & 
Rawle, 315. Although it be necessary that a day certain should be laid in 
the indictment, the prosecutor may give evidence, of an offence committed, 
on any other day, previous to the finding of the indictment. 5 Serg. & 
Rawle, 316; Arch. Cr. Pl. 95; 1 Phil Evid. 203; 9 East, Rep. 157. This rule, 
however, does not authorize the laying of a day subsequent to the trial. 
Addis. R. 36. See generally Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.
