As the word appears in a statement of the voyage covered by a marine insurance policy, e.g. "from" New York to Port au Prince:-the risk attaches at the time of weighing anchor and breaking ground for the voyage, but is not exclusive of intermediate ports stated in the policy. Bradley v Nashville Ins. Co. 3 La Ann 708. As the word appears in the designation of a boundary of real estate, e.g. "from" the [a designated monument or object]: – the designation is exclusive of the monument or object specified, except as the entire context requires its inclusion. Bonney v Morrill, 52 Me 252. A word productive of some confusion in determining whether it denotes inclusion or exclusion of the day from which a reckoning is to be made, the courts, however, ordinarily proceeding on the theory that the word is not per se a word either of inclusion or exclusion, but is to be construed as one or the other according to the tenor of the instrument or the intent of the parties and the equities of the particular case. 52 Am J1st Times § 23. When the words "from" a day named, are used in connection with the creation of an estate or interest, and it is not contrary to the express intention of the parties, the date named from which the estate or interest is to exist is to be included, and the estate vests on that day. Budds v Frey, 104 Minn 481, 117 NW 158.
