§ 163

The Chairman: It is moved and seconded that leave be granted to withdraw the resolution. Are you ready for the question? (Undebatable). As many as are in favor of granting leave to withdraw say aye. . . . Those opposed no. . . . The ayes have it. The resolution is withdrawn; or the noes have it. The assembly refuses to allow the withdrawal of the resolution. (Business proceeds accordingly).

163. The resolution on Capital Punishment (Sec. 150) was rejected. Mr. Hansell (who voted in the negative) has for some reason changed his mind and wishes to bring the resolution before the assembly.

Mr. Hansell (obtaining the floor): I move to reconsider the vote on the resolution on capital punishment.

Mr. Briggs (rising): I second the motion.

The Chairman: Did Mr. Hansell vote with the prevailing side?

Mr. Hansell (rising): I voted on the negative.
