The first point which have to decide leren be any claim at all? Was there any time fixed in the contract? for time is the essence of contracts. The contract note says plainly within two or three weeks, and I am of opinion that the sede ought to have been tendered within the time so fixed. Clearly, therefore, the defend dants have falled to fulfil their contract.
