RULES OF THE SENATE.                          
         91

no Senator permitted to leave the room until the report of the Sergeant-at-Arms
be received
and acted upon, or further proceedings in the call be suspended, or the Senate
adjourn.
Previous to the reception of such report, further proceedings in the call
shall not be sus-
pended, except by the vote of two-thirds of the Senators present.
                              COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
  33.--The rules observed'by the Senate shall govern as far as practicable
the proceedings
in Committee of the Whole, except that a Senator may speak oftener than twice
on the
same subject, and that a call of the ayes and noes, or for the previous question,
cannot be
made in committee.
  34.--Amendments made in Committee of the Whole, shall be entered on a separate
piece
of paper, and reported to the Senate by the chairman, standing in his place
on the floor of
the Senate. All amendments and other propositions reported by Committee of
the Whole
shall be disposed of in the same manner as if proposed in the Senate.
                          INTRODUCTION OF BILLS AND PAPERS.
  35.--All bills, resolutions, reports and papers, when introduced, shall
be indorsed with
the name of the Senator, or Committee, presenting the same to the Senate.
  36.--Every bill, memorial or joint resolution requiring the signature of
the Governor
shall receive three several readings previous to its passage. But no such
bill or memorial,
or joint resolution, shall receive a second and third reading on the same
day.
                                     COMMITMENTS.
   37.-No bill or joint resolution shall be committed or amended until it
has been twice
 read. If objections are raised to the bill on its first reading, the question
shall be, "shall
 the bill be rejected?" If no objection be made, or the question to
reject be lost, the bill
 shall go to its second reading.
                     COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MAY CONSIDER BILLS.
  38.--When a bill, joint resolution, or memorial to congress shall have
received two
  readings, and been reported to the Senate for further action, the bill,
resolution or mem-
  orial shall be placed on the calendar of bills on their engrossment and
third reading. No
  bill or memorial shall be ordered to a third reading on the same day on
which it is reported
  by the committee, except on the last day of the session.
                                 COPIES TO BE PRINTED.
   39.-Two hundred and fifty copies of every bill, joint resolution or memorial,
of a
 general nature, shall be printed after the second reading, unless otherwise
ordered; and all
 bills, resolutions and amendments, after being printed, shall remain at
least one day on the
 files before being considered.
                                  ENGROSSMENT OF BILLS.
   40.--The final question upon the second reading of every bill or other
paper, originating
 in the Senate, and requiring three readings previous to being passed, shall
be, "shall it be
 engrossed and read a third time?" And upon every such bill or paper
originating in the
 Assembly, "shall it be ordered to a third reading?"
                             AMENDMENTS ON THIRD READING.
   41.-After a bill has been read a third time, no amendment shall be in
order, except to
 fill blanks, without the unanimous consent of the Senate, unless, on commitment,
such
 amendments shall have been reported by a committee, in which case, after
amendments so
 reported shall have been disposed of, the question shall be the same as
was pending before
 the reference, unless otherwise ordered by the Senate. A bill, resolution
or memorial, may
 be committed at any time previous to its passage.
                                 BILLS TO BE ENGROSSED.
   42.--Every bill, joint resolution, or memorial originating in the Senate
shall be carefully
 engrossed before being transmitted to the Assembly for concurrence.
                          CLERK TO TRANSMIT BILLS TO THE ASSEMBLY.
   43.--Immediately after the passage of any bill or other paper, to which
the concurrence
 of the Assembly is to be asked, it shall be the duty of the clerk to transmit
the same to the
 Assembly, unless some member of the Senate shall make a motion to reconsider
the vote by
 which the Senate passed said bill or other paper, in which case the Clerk
shall not transmit
 said bill or other paper, until the motion to reconsider has been put; and
on the concurrence
