of the possession of the Senate, and shall deliver the
same to the Secretary of the Senate, who shall enter upon
the journal that the same have been correctly engrossed.

A Committee on Enrolled Bills, to consist of three

members.

40 The former practice of the Senate referred to in this

paragraph has been changed by the following Rule:

[Rule 29. The final question upon the second reading of

every bill, resolution, constitutional amendment or motion,
originating in the Senate, and requiring three readings
previous to being passed, shall be, “Whether it shall be
engrossed and read a third time?” and no amendment
shall be received for discussion at the third reading of any
 bill, resolution, amendment, or motion, unless by
unanimous consent of the members present; but it shall at
all times be in order before the final passage of any such
bill, resolution, constitutional amendment, or motion, to
move its commitment; and should such commitment take
place, and any amendment be reported by the committee,
the said bill, resolution, constitutional amendment, or
motion, shall be again read a second time, and considered
as in Committee of the Whole, and then the aforesaid
question shall be again put.]

41 This rule has been modified so as to specify the questions

entitled to preference. The rule is now as follows:

[When a question is under debate, no motion shall be

received but to adjourn, to lay on the table, to postpone
indefinitely, to postpone to a day certain, to commit, or to
amend; which several motions shall have precedence in
the order they stand arranged, and the motion for
adjournment shall always be in order, and be decided
without debate.]

42 Rule 13. In filling up blanks, the largest sum and longest

time shall be first put.

43 In the case of a division of the question, and a decision

against striking out, I advance doubtingly the opinion here
expressed. I find no authority either way, and I know it
may be viewed under a different aspect. It may be
thought that, having decided separately not to strike out
the passage, the same question for striking out cannot be
put over again, though with a view to a different insertion.
Still I think it more reasonable and convenient to consider
the striking out and insertion as forming one proposition;
but should readily yield to any evidence that the contrary
is the practice in Parliament.
44 Noes. 9 Grey, 365.
