saved by Crisp.
Then Bland demanded the previous
question, pending which Burrows moved

the yeas and nays, which were ordered
As the members responded to their names
the vote was seen to be very close, and the
excitement grew minute to minute 1t

Bland asked to have his vote changed
from no" to "aye" in order to be able to

bill on the table is yeas, 14S; nays, liS; so
the motion fails"
