10 awaken a fear that much of the bust

session a fortnight ago ii was not until
a question had been before the Board for
a long time rs the subject ut excited de.
bate that the President discovered that
the proposition before the Board WAS out
of order, and the Board made similar
discovery in time to vote promptly 10 sus-
tain the Chair
Al the last session, Monday evening,
again, the rulings in regard tn points Of
order were even more remarkable. Al
most 1T the beginning Of the discussion

whether or not they were in order. Tie

a protracted debate on them Colonel
Grimshaw, who had, rs chairman, refused
10 sustain Mr.. Mclntiru's point Of order,
called that gentleman 10 the CHAIR ana
himself raised the point that the resolu.
tions were ont of order and Mr.. Mclntir,
decided the point well taken.
Ii the decisions were corr, 'l in the NV,

evident that it takes considerable time foi

cause has not delayed action on question
long enough for the Presidents parIamcn
tary perceptions to awaken, that many
things may have been done IN defiance ot
law and order.
