the facts simply these No casting vote was ever
given by the Speaker this bill, nor did occasion
really exist where casting vote could be gwen

small degree to the confusion which at such tmet
PREVAILS the vote the bill incorrectly reported to
the Speaker, and by him announced to the House, On
the final correction of the record by the entry of the neg
alive vote of Mr. Farrey stood ayes So 90
the bill thus rejected. 1t will be seen. therefore, tina
the Speakers vote, whether given in the affirmative o.
negative, could have altered this result and for this
reason it was not given at ALL
