The interval between a dissolution and the
assembling of the Parliament varies
cCrding 10 the period OF the year, the state Of
public business. and the political conditions
under which an appeal to the people may have
become necessary. When the session has been
concluded. and question Of Ministerial con-
fdence or responsibility is at issue. the recess
generally continued by prOrogations until
the usual time for the meeting Of Parliament"
Thus in 1868 Parliament dissolved on No
lembrr 26. and the new Parliament met on De
ren!ber 10; in 1870 the dates were March "a
and April %.
The same authority gives some interesting
pr-Celents of dissolution. Since the dissolution
on March 2S 1851, by Charles II, no sovereign
has dissolved Parliament in person, thought II
was done by the Prince Regent on June 10
