The first point with reference to that, which was made by the learned Vakil for the respondent, was that the Article in the Statute of Limitation says that the time is ninety days from the date of the decree, which must be taken, by reason of another provision, to be the same date as the pronouncement of the judgment. That would be so, but for the fact that Section 12 of the Limitation Act provides that in computing the period of limitation prescribed for an appeal, an application for leave to appeal as a pauper, and an application for a review of judgment (as in the case here) the day on which the judgment complained of was pronounced and the time requisite for obtaining a copy of the decree, sentence or order appealed against or sought to be reviewed s...
