hours be enlivened by allowing Speer 3D. of

ton, remarked that the members left the hall
not only through the doors, but through the
windows of the cloak-room.

adopted-ayes 20, noes %. There was a
strong determination manifested on both
sides of the House to prolong the session until
a quorum should appear. On the part of
some gentlemen this determination was
strengthened by desire to pass the Chandler
bill, but for the most part it arose from dis
position to make it apparent that when the
House ordered evening sessions hereafter, the
members attending such sessions would insist
upon the presence of a quorum and the trans
acti) of business agreed upon. At 4:45
motion to adjourn was defeated.

when summoned.
