tn the motion Of Mr. Jopos Mr. gt;l1a
inasmuch as that when The previous question wa
| ordered his motion was pending, to-wit: to adop
| the amendments of the Senate in gross.
| The Speaker decided as follows:
| After the previous question had been ordered OF
the bill entitled act to define the duties and tt
| fix the compensation of State Printer, upon tn,
| motion of Mr.. Stllle to concur in the severa
| amendments made by the Senate to the bill, Mr.
| Leeds moved for a diversion of the question, 81
that each amendment should be voted on sepa
| rately. Mr.. Stille raised the point of order tina
after the ordering of the main question by the
! House his motion to concur in the Senate
| amendments, it was not competent to divide the
| question, as it was in effect an amendment Of hi:
| original motion. = The Chair decided that the
point of order was not new to him, because the
twenty Fourth rule Of the House gives tie right t.
any member to call for a division of question
when the same will admit of it, which rule wa.
not overridden by the previous question.
Mr.. Couvion appealed from the decision of the
Chair, but withdrew his appeal.

first amendment was read as follows:
Seventh section strike out twenty five" and in

called, he requested the Speaker to state the
question, and the Speaker stated the question &C.
cordingIy and what the effect of vote in the
affirmative or negative on the pending question
would be.
Mr. Jonas rose to point Of order, to-wit: Tt is
not competent for the Chair to state the effect of
a vote since the motion for the previous question
precludes members from discussing the question
at issue and showing that the effect would be
different from that stated by the Speaker.
The point of order was decided by the Speaker
as follows:
The Chair decided that it was competent for
him to explain to q member what was the ques.
ton before the House, and what would be the
