RULINGS OF :-
That motion, without notice, " That John McFarlane, Esquire, be Chairman of Committees of
the whole House for the present Session" was in order, and stated 1 that lie was following
the practice of the House, 24 .
That motion in favour of State training its own civil engineers through the Railway Department,
was improperly before the House, its the Sessional Order in reference to precedence
of business took effect immediately it was passed, 20.
That although the motion for the. adjournment, to discuss the proposal of the 'Minister for
Works, in reference to dealing with the unemployed was Hot definitely set out in the motion,
the mover having indicated
amended, 44
what the proposal was, he would allow the motion to be
That it was only necessary that the Order of Leave should disclose the general scope of a. Bill,
although if it was proposed definitely to alter an Act of Parliament, the Order 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 -was, therefore, in order, 44 .
That when the Deputy-Speaker occupied the Chair of the House his rulings had the same force
and effect as those of Mr . Speaker, and motion to dissent from such ruling was in order, 60 .
That motion for adjournment under 49th Standing Order was Sufficiently definite, 65 .
That the practice for the past ten years had been not to allow Motions for Adjournment on
subjects which could be discussed in Debate on the Estimates, he did not intend to reverse
that practice, though under it, hardships occasionally occurred, he would give the matter
consideration to see if in future some decision could be arrived at to overcome the present
state of affairs, and enable the Adjournment to be moved under .sim ilar circumstances to
draw attention to matters of very urgent importance, 72.
