As. u q MM a.
Before the vote was declared Mr. HlsKs
asked and obtained leave to change his vote.
Mr.. vosE moved to reconsider the vote
whereby the House refused the bill a passage.
Mr.. Kinks moved to lay that motion on the
table and assign next Tuesday for its further
consideration.
Mr.. STONE said he had no wish TO deny the
privilege of any one the right to be heard up
on this matter, but be understood on all hands
before the vote was taken that this was to be
a finality of the subject. s.-.,.. .-s.... 49,
Mr. DUNNING hoped the matter would be
disposed of without further delay. He thought
the subject had received thorough ventila-
ton He knew very well that the law on the
statute book is a stringent one, but let every
man remember that there is such law, and
the great advantage he has is, that he is not
Obliged to avail himself of it. If men are
Obliged to avail themselves of it, then let 1t be
repealed.
| The matter of postponing to Tuesday was
| further discussed by Messrs. STONE, BoNNEr,
IRISH, MILDRAM, WmpDEN, BuRNHAM, BAR
KER, LEWIS of Liberty, and others. The
| motion was lost.
| After numerous attempts to adjourn or get
postponement of the matter, Mr.. Hume
moved that the matter be assigned to three
weeks from to-day (Friday), pending which
the House adjourned on motion Of Mr..
TwIrcHELL.
