When does Easter end?

By H. EDWARDS.

An enactment of the legislature directs a certain act to be done "*within two months after Easter*" in 1850, under a penalty for non-performance. I have no difficulty in finding that two calendar months are meant, but am puzzled how to compute when they should commence. I should be much obliged by being informed when Easter ends? that question set at rest, the other part is easily understood and obeyed.
