can see, in that resolution, except to notify members
that thcy will have only two days notice; but when, or
how is not said Is the notice to be given ny mcahc"
iuiinatin, that he will call for the question. o: ~ Il
vote of the committee OF the house: And then. whr
is the notice be given know OF several gentlemen
