versed a ruling heretofore made by him

had held in the case of an adverse re-
port upon a bill, that the roll must be
called on the bill, even after an adverse
report had been adopted However he
reports might be adopted and n bill killed
without calling the roll, except that the
roll would be called upon the request OF
five members on the committee report.

superstition. Positively, / cannot, un-
