OF the manner in which legislative matters are to
be treated.
Whenever a member introduces a motion for an Ordi-
nance, such motion must always be accompanied with a
Draft of the Ordinance. Every motion for an Ordinance,
made by the Government OF by the members OF the Council,
may after the necessary notice thereof has been given, ana
after it has been laying open for examination In accordance
with s. S, be at once taken up for the 1st discussion.
At the 1st discussion the Draft Of Ordinance is to be
discussed only as to it's general contents. After the matter
has been so discussed, the Council will determine, provided
the motion originates from a member, whether 1t shall pro-
qress further; but if it be a motion from the Government, 1t
shall without voting go to the end discussion. Should
proposal for the appointment OF a Committee have been
made, tits then to be determined, whether such Committee
is to be appointed or not. If no printed or Autographed
comics of the Draft have been distributed to the members
before the list discussion, this must be done at least 6 times
"a hours previous to the end discussion.
The Committees report on a legislative matter shall be
communicated to the Governor and the members to these

fixed for that purpose, or by furnishing them with printed
copies of it, at latest 7 times "a hours before the 2nd discus
sion takes place. Amendments must be introduced 4 times
"a hours previous to the meeting, in which they are to be
voted on, and must be communicated to the Governor and
laid open for the perusal of the members at latest 3 times
"a hours previous to the meeting; they shall furthermore,
provided circumstances admit Of it, be sent to each member
"a hours previous to the meeting. Proposals OF altering
amendments may be introduced the same day on which the
meeting is held, but in time that they can be communicated
to the Governor and laid open tor perusal OF the members Z
hours previous to the meeting of the Council. The Governor
as we'll as a Committee has also the same right in respect to
amendments in general. Whenever an amendment be with
drawn, it can Immediately be taken up by another party.
At the End discussion, which must not take place earlier
than 6 times "a hours after the close OF the LIST discussion,
the single paragraphs of the draft with the amendments pro-
posed thereto are to be discussed in such sections, as the
Chairman may find appropriate. Immediately after the dis
cussion of each paragraph or each section has been closed,
they and the amendments relating thereto are to be put to
the vote but those paragraphs, to which no amendment has
been proposed, may be considered as being adopted without
voting, if the Chairman finds that this is not necessary and
no member requests it. Finally til is to be decided by votes,
whether the Draft in its amended form shall go to the Bird
discussion.
