pany. fire company or benevolent society.
the amendment of Mr.. Hahn, as follows:
Add at the end of the amendment the words
"ard persons in distress.
On this amendment to the amendment Mr.
Fitzpatrick called for the yeas and nays.
The Speaker ruled that when bill was
under consideration on second reading, and
a5 such open to amendments, that on the
offering of an amendment to an amendment
tbf,, rf,th hn 1aI If,r1f
second proposition because the constitutional
requirements did not intend to designate this
as question upon which such a call could be
based. and for the further reason, that ii the
yeas ahd nays can thus be demanded, q bill
might thereby be delayed interminably and
the will Of the majority be defeated upon
mere technicaties thus violating a funda-
mental principle in Parliamentary law. The
great purpose of all rules and forms is to
subserve the will of the assembly rather
than to restrain it; to facilitate and not to
obstruct the expression OF their deliberate
sense.
From this ruling Mr.. Fitzpatrick appealed
and called for the yeas and nays.
The question was put:
"Shall the decision of the Chair be held as
the judgment of the House2"
The roll was called resulting as follows:
