1Opinion of the CourtFellows, J.
This is a bill filed for the specific performance of an option contract signed by the defendants and bearing date of May 10, 1919. This date was on a Saturday and the parties and their witnesses are in direct conflict as to whether the option was in fact signed or delivered on the following day or on a secular day. Many of the interesting legal questions presented are dependent upon the solution of this, question of fact. We shall state the claims of the parties upon this controverted question as we proceed.
