[Seven o'clock
The House assembled and was called to
order.
Speaker Brewster in the chair.
The Speaker stated that the House had
met and adjourned at halfpast six O'Clock
P. NJ, but as it seemed to be the general
opinion among the members that it was not
in acco rdance with the rules to adjourn the
House without calling the roll, and as great
dissatisfaction was caused by that action,
he concluded to call them together again
and take the sense Of the House upon the
subject.
The roll was called and the following
members answered to their names:
Speaker Brewster, and 'Messrs. Abel,
Antoine, Barker. Barrett, Belot, Bent

Quorum present.
Mr. Thompson, of st. Tamnany, raised
the foil owing point of order:
That the House had been called to order
at halt-past six o'clock P. NJ. pursuant to
the adjournment, and that motion to ad.
journ until to morrow at II NJ. was put ard
carried and the House was declared so ad-
jcurned, and it was contrary to paIIiamen-
tary usages and illegal to reasse1nble the
House at this time.
The Speaker decided the point as follows:
That the House had met at the time ap-
PCihtNN' thu htth, upoh iiict4OH u MI.
Thompson, of st. Tammany, adjourned
until twelve o'clock NJ. tomorrow. but that
he, upon reflection, considered it an error
to have put the motion to adjourn without
having call of the House, for without
that he had no official knowledge whether
any members of the House were present
and voting upon the motion to adjourn or
not. and that be thought it was wit the
limit of his authority to call the House to
order gain under the circumstances, and
for those reasons he decided the point az
not being well taken.
Mr.. Thompson, OF st. Tammany, appealed
from the decision of the Chair, upon which
appeal Mr.. Barrett, of Orleans. called the
previous question.
hir. Thompson, of st. Tammanv, claimed
the right to close the debate upon the ap-
peal.
Mr.. Worrall, of Jefferson, raised the fol-
lowing point Of order: That the mover of
a question could not close the dobate until
every mem Der who desired to speak upon
the subject had been heard.
The Speaker decided that the call for the
previous question debarred members from
speaking upon the question, with the ex-
ceptlon OF the mover, who still had the
right to close the debate
Mr.. Worrall appealed from the decision
Of the Chair
Mr.. Abel, of Bossier, raised the following
point OF order: That the call for the pre-.
vious question must be acted upon before
