Rum .,ms OlP SPEAKER :-
That motion, 11 That John INIT.cFarlane, Esquire, be Chairman of Committees of the NArliole House I
for the present Session," was in order, though notice had not been given, the practice of the
House, being followed, 24 . 1
That motion in favour of State training its own civil engincers through the Railway Department
was improperly before the -House, as Sessional Order in*reference to precedence ' of business
took effect immediately it was passed, 29 .,
That although the motion for adjournment to discuss tile proposal of the Minister for W6rks,
in reference to dealing with the unemployed, -.v" not definitely set out in the motion, the
mover, in his speech, had clearly indicated whaft the proposal was, and lie would allow the
motion to be amended to that extent, and the debate to continue, 44.
That so Ion,, as the Order of Leave disclosed - the general scope of a Bill, that was all that was
necessary, although if a Bill proposed definitelyi to alter an Act of Parliament, the Ord er of
Leave, as a matter of convenience, should state so ; the Coroner's Court Bill did not propose
to alter any existing Act of Parliament, and wa~', therefore, in order, 44 .
That when the Deputy Speaker occupied the Chair of the House, his rulings had the same force
and effect -,is those of 'vir. Speaker, and motion to*dissent from such ruling was in order, 60 .
That motion for adjournment under the 49th Standing Order was sufficiently definite, 65.
That the practice for the past ten years had been not to allow motions for adjournment oil
subjects which could be discussed on the Estimates ; lie did not intend to reverse that
practice, though under it hardships occasionally occurred . He . would give the matter
consideration to see if in the future some decision could be arrived at to overcome tile
present state of affairs and enable theadjournnient to be moved under similar circumstances,
to draw, attention to matters of very urgent importance, 72 .
That in discussing the clauses of a Bill, the general principles of an Act proposed to be
repealed coul (I not be-referred to in detail, 185.'
That the aniendni ' ent was out of order whi6li'llrolidsed to substitute words of the same purport
as the words which it was proposed to ](!,,Lvb out, 214 . That the Estimates would be
considered in Committee of Supply, and the itein, Harbour Master, ~C700, could then be''
discussed, 219 . That motion for suspension of Standing Orders as a matter of urgency,
with reference, to the adjournment of the House, was in effect evading Mr . Speaker's ruling
" That item could be discussed in Committee of Supply," 219 .' The Chairman having put
the Question to the Committee that the full aniount of Estimates under the con trol of
tile COIODicd Secretary be passed, Mr. John Hurley moved a reduction of the amount
by X288, when the Chairman ruled that Mr . Nielse'n was not in Order in moving any
amendment except for a larger amount, nor .in insisting before Mr . Hurley's ihotion was
made, that lie (Mr. Nielsen) had a right to have the items of the Estimates put seriation .
Mr. Speaker ' said the procedure in Committee 'of Supply, was clearly laid down in Standing
Order'No 336 . "flat .1 . Standing Order No . 336 could be set aside by concurrence, and
lip, had to decide -%vhother concurrence had beei-i granted, and as five Departments had been
dealt with by the Committee without . objectiou, lie must conclude that concurrence had,'
been granted and lie ruled in that direction, 2'56 .
RULINCS OF DEPUTv'.SPEAKE'11. :-
That it was'the duty of tile Chairman to have putian amendment in such a way as would have,

page 457, 49 .
