Mr.. KIRKPATRICK rose to point of order
that the bill bud been defeated, and that
neither body had control of it, the bill being
dead.
The CHAIR said the question was a nice
one, and surrounded by difficulties, but WAS
of opinion that the matter was still omen TO
reconsideration, and decided that 1t was COM
petent for the Senate to make the request it
did OF the House.
Mr.. KIRKrATRicB appealed from the dec-
sion of the CHAIR; after which the LIEUTEN-
ANT.GorERSoE said that he had been misled
in giving his previous opinion and ruling,
and stated at length his reasons for so stating.
He then ruled that it is not now competent for
the Senate TO consider the bill, rs the Senate
had defeated 1t and allowed it to go to the
House of Delegates in that condition. Had
tue Senate not allowed the bill to 90 back to
the House then the Senate might have con-
sidered the bill on a motion to reconsider,
but could not do so now.

drawn. Mr. THOMAS then appealed from the

his position, AMI moved in conclusion that
