ADJOURNMENT.

A motion to adjourn simply, cannot be amended as by adding " to a particular day.” But must be put simply," that this House do now adjourn."

When it is convenient that the business of the House be suspended for a short time, it adjourns during pleasure, or for a specified time.

If a question be put for adjournment, it is no adjournment till the Speaker pronounces it. -Jefferson.

A motion to adjourn cannot be made when the question of adjournment has just previously been put and decided in the negative.-Cushing.

[If a motion to adjourn be made and decided in the negative, it cannot be immediately followed by another motion to adjourn; some business must intervene between the two motions.]

If, during a debate, or in fact, the transaction of any business, a less number than a quorum is present, the general parliamentary rule seems to give the Speaker power to adjourn the House, but the custom has been established of requiring a motion to be made for that purpose. Should no motion be made, and the Speaker not feel himself justified in exercising his right to adjourn the House, it is. nevertheless, his duty to suspend the proceedings until there is a quorum present, or until, by a call of the House, the absent members are brought

in.
