cial orders for subsequent days, In the
absence OF the rules, take precedence over

ure have urged me TO move a suspension OF

almost every other member of the house
has one OF more bills which he is anxious
to get up, ] have declined to Interfere
with the special order again, and have, on
more than one occasion, voted for sus-
pension OF the rules to take UP other meas
