debatable motion or a series of motions to, and embracing the
main question if desired.

but the matter proposed to be inserted may be divided, if re-
quired, according to RULE XXII. A motion to strike out
being lost, shall preclude neither amendment nor a motion to
strike out and insert. ~No motion or proposition on a subject
different from that under consideration shall be admitted
under color of amendment.
