part u he we're stakeholder of The bank, he
should consider hat lIe ought not To vote. nm
der the rule referred to-and concluded he
calling Tor the ayes and noes on the passage of
the bill.
The Speaker read the 9th rule of the
House, to which the member from New Kent
llad referred, and remarked, that at the fine
the charter of the Bank of Virginia was OK
tended, the same question had been made. II
was then decided by the very able Speaker
at that time presiding, that the rule in question
related To the pripiieges Of members, and did
DOT extend tu matters Of public and general
lnierest-and that the votes 0f rbe...bprs on
such questions would be regulated by their
own sense of propriety. Otherwise, members
"g that body would he incompetent To vote
on general tax bill, and on all other subjects
IN whirII they, like the rest of the peoplp
had common interest Tbp Speaker no: on
~ assigned This, as precedent for his govern
neni, hut gave other reasons for his decision.
tie said, II any gentleman was dissatisfied
with bis opinion, he would put the question
to the House.
Mr.. Dromg0ole appealed from the decision
of the Chair, and called for the ayes and nocs
on the question. lie contendad that from fine
memorial of the stockholders, it appeared
they had direct and acknowledged interest
and that the debtors to the bank also had an
interest ~ the extension of its charter.
Mr.. Colsiou was neither y stakeholder nor
debtor, and presumed he had right 10 saw
something on the subject. He thought if there
be- ANY force in The objection. it would TEND 70
destroy The competency Of the legislature.
