§ 160

Mr. Kane: I rise to a parliamentary inquiry.

The Chairman: The member will state his inquiry.

Mr. Kane: Have we not already decided this question by our last vote on the substitute?

The Chairman: The question decided by the last vote was whether the assembly preferred the original resolution, or the resolution offered as substitute. The vote being in the affirmative, the substituted resolution takes the place of the original resolution and becomes the resolution before the assembly for adoption or rejection, like any other amended proposition. The question is on the adoption or rejection of the substituted resolution. As many as are in favor say aye. . . . Those opposed no. . . . The ayes have it. The resolution is adopted.

160. The resolution, Resolved, That school examinations should be abolished is before the assembly.
