Committee; and in making such nomination, he shall rise
and address himself to the Speaker.
XVIII.
The name of every Member making a Motion, presenting
any Petition, Memorial, or other Paper, proposing any Reso-
lution, Order, or other matter, shall be inserted on the Jour-
nal; but if any motion or proposition be withdrawn, all pro-
ceedings relating immediately thereto shall be expunged from
the Journal.
XIX.
Whilst the Speaker ie putting any question, or addressing
the House, none shall walkout or cross the House; nor in
such case, or while a Member is speaking, shall hold private
discourse, so as to interrupt debate.
XX.
When a Motion is made and seconded, it shall be stated by
the Speaker; or being in writing, it shall be handed to the
Chair, and read aloud by the Clerk, before debate; and every
Motion shall be reduced to writing, if the Speaker or any
Member require it.
XXI.
When a Motion is made and seconded, or when a Question
is under debate, the matter shall receive a determination by
the Question; or it may be postponed by a motion to adjourn,
to lie on the table, for the previous question, to postpone to a
day certain, to commit or amend, to postpone indefinitely—
which several motions shall have precedence in the order in
which they are arranged. A motion to strike out the enact-
ing words of a Bill, shall have precedence of a motion to
amend; and, if carried, shall be equivalent to its rejection;
and when a question is postponed indefinitely, the same shall
not be acted on again during the session.
XXII
The Previous Question shall be in this form: "Shall the
Previous Question be now put?" It may be called for on
any question; and when demanded by a majority of the
members present; it shall preclude all further amendment and-
debate on the question or section of the bill under considera-
tion.
