Journal H. R., 1860, page 638. The Speaker made the following decision, viz: A bill to incorporate the Mifflin County Bank, returned by the Governor with his objections, having been re-considered by the House of Representatives, and passed by the constitutional majority of two-thirds only, Mr. M'Donough, after the announcement of the vote, (he not being within the bar of the House when the vote was taken,) asked leave to vote. If Mr. M'Donough votes in the negative, it would change the result, thus defeating the bill, and having the same effect as a re-consideration of the vote. Therefore, can the gentleman vote upon the question? The Chair decides that, under the fifty-fourth rule of the House, it will require two-thirds to permit the gentleman to vote, and that, if two-thirds vote in the affirmative, he can have the privilege, if asked for during the same day's session.-—Journal H. R., 1860, page 756.

R., 1861, page 131. A motion was made to re-consider, which was disagreed to. Subsequently a motion was made to re-consider the vote negativing the motion to re-consider.

The Speaker decided, that it was in order to strike from a subject before the House a part of certain words which have, in connection with other words, in the form of an amendment, been already voted upon and agreed to. The House sustained the decision.-Journal H. R., 1862, page 344. The Speaker decided, that a proposed amendment, being a portion of another bill pending in the House, was not in order.-Journal H. R., 1862, page 653. The Speaker decided, that a motion to re-consider the vote on indefinitely postponing a motion to re-consider the vote on the final passage of a bill, was not in order.
