INGs AND OPINIONS OF: Accommodation for Membe1·s: obs., 539. 2018. Addre.s.~ in Reply: No comment could be permitted on a matter that was $Ub jud1ce, 315.
Adjo·urmnent: A motion of adjournment to discuss two matters was.out of order, 1882; a member who had deposited a notice of motion was entitled to vote against its withdrawal as the second not~ce for discussion, after the first motion had been ruled out of order1 1882; a motion of adjournment to discuss " the appointment of a board to supervise the distribution of relief"-to farmers-was very vague and very indefinite, and motions of this kind should be so clear and intelligible as to make the matter desired to be discussed quite patent, 2335; a motion of adjournment to discuss "the failure of the Government to make adequate provision for widows and distressed children" was not out of order on the ground that the matter might be discussed on a motion relating to.the incorporation and promotion of the objects of a society for the ''"clfare of mothers and babies--there was nothing to show that the society would pro-
• vide for widows and children generally, 2409; a motion of adjournment to discuss the proposal, "that drastic action be taken by the Government to handle and control the increased cost of living, more particularly with regard to profiteering," was out of order, because it did not relate to a single specific matter of rerent occurrence, 2537; for the same reason a motion of adjournment to discuss the urgenc~~ of amending the Public Health Act to afford greater protection against contagious diseases mis out of order, 2594; inasmuch as the first motion drawn from the box could not be moved it was a nullity, and the Speaker should, therefore, proceed to draw a second notice from the box without motion being made, 2594; in regard to a motion of adjeurnment to discuss "the dismissal of the application by Judge Curle,Yis of the miners' section of the Australian 'Yorkers' Union to have an agreement registered in the Arbitration Court," the Speaker could not say from the wording of the motion itself that it involved an attack upon th2 conduct of the judge. He would not hold that no decision given by a court could be discussed in the House, but any comment

ASSEMBLY (continued): SPEAKER, Mr., RuLI~Gs AND OrrNIO::\'S oF(ctd. ):
on the conduct of the judge would be ruled out of order, 259U; a motion of adjournment to discuss "the failure of the Government to deal effectively with the conditions arising from this calamitous drought" uid not deal with a definite matter so as to bring it within standing order <19, 2748; a motion of adjournment to discuss "the failure of the Government to retain wheat sufficient for seed and consumption, and to supply necessitous settlers with sustenance and fodder" was out of order, because it did not deal with a single specific matter of recent occurrence1 2884; a motion of adjournment to d1scuss "the amendment of the Miners' Accident Relief Act to provide for increasP.d payments" did not refer to a specific matter of recent occurrence, and was therefore out of order, 3837.
'Allegecl Attemptecl Bribery-Motion of Urgency: A member· could not move to suspend the standing ,orders to enable him to discuss as a matter of urgency, a motion of which he had given notice for the following day. This would be an infringement of the rule ag~inst the anticipation o~ discussion, 1052; a member could not on a point of order say that another member was stating something that was untrue, 1169.
Chairman of Committees: Notice of'inc tention to move for tho appointment of the Chairman cf Committees could not be given with the consent of the House, except at the proper time, in accordance with standing order 74. Certain things could be clone under the standing orders with concurrence, but there \Yas no general provision under which any standing order could be set aside with concurrence, 417; a motion having been moved after notice for the appointmei1t of a certain Member as Chairman of Committees, a proposal to substitute tho name of another l\Icmber could not be accepted as an amendment, but could be h·ealed as a subbtantive motion in tho event of the original motion being defeated, 437.
Ilansarcl Staff :·obs., 1255. Henley, Lt.-Colonel: obs., 22,14. Crown Lands (.'lmendment) Bill: When calling attention to the state of the House a member should not make env comment, but a comment did not make a. call ineffective, 254G.
llyclro-etechic Derelopment (U01lstntction) 1Jill: An amendment made by tho Legislative Council in this bill, which was what was commonly termed a
money bill, was an unconstitutional interference with the privileges. of the As;Scmbly; the amendment-for the appomtment of a board to investigate the proposed work-was not intended
·to mako clear or more definite the intention of the House, but was repugnant to the intention of the bill as p_assed by the Hou~c, 37·1'!; on tho mo-
• t10n for the adoptwn of the report of tho Committee it woud not be pcrmis· sible to move an amendment, "'!'hat tho bill be laid aside," 3754.
8.tnmgers in the Gollery.: It was grossly uregular for a member in the House to converse with a stranger in tho gallery, 1448.
Members, Designations of: Military titles under the rank of captain were not ordinarily referred to. Officers of the A.l.F. retained their rank on termination of their appointments as honorary rank in the Australian l\lilitnry Forces, 3036.
Minute-glass: obs., 2001. O'IIam, L. J., 'l'he Late: obs., 46.
l'arliamenta?"y Staff: obs., 1487, 1!)27, 2001 (also see "1\Iinute-glass").
l'ersonal Explanation: There never had been a rule established or practised that thero should be a reply to a personal explanation. When a Minister made P. ministerial statement it had been tho custom to allow the Leader of tho Opposition to briefly reply on ques- • tions of fact, 801; a member could not under cover of n personal explanation contradict a statement made bv another member, 1053; the inaccurac~' of newspaper reports was not a matter for personal explanation, 1680; when. a statement was challenged the member concerned might take a subsequent opportunity of replying to his critic, but could, not do so under cover of a personal explanation, 2473; there could hardly be a personal explanation on something involved in a question addressed to a Minister which was not supposed to conbin any statement of fact, 2532.
Questiofl.< must be asked for the purpose c;>f elicitin~ information, 796; a statement outs1de the House regarding the duties of tho party Whips could not be made the subject of a question, 1927; the rules regarding the asking of questions were admirably summarised at page 221 of the latest edition of "1\Iny," 2134; it was competent to raise a point of order regarding a. question, but until the question was finished the Speaker could not say whether or not it was in order, 2471.

ASSEMBLY (continued): SPEAKER, 1\lr., RULINGS AND 0PINIO:-IS OF (ctcl.):
Regulations under Parliamentary Elections (A mefl(lmwt) Act: The regulations having already been made by the Governor, the House although having the ,power of ~eto could not amend them. 'fhe motiOn for the approval of the regulations did not .come within the rule that where a motion consisted of !llOre th;,m one resolution, such resolutions should be put seriatim -it was a question of approval or• disapproval of the regulations in toto, 1259; the Government was not bounc1 to bring down at once all the regulations it was competent to make under the Act, 1272.
