When an amendment has been submitted to a section under
consideration, it is competent for any member to submit an
amendment to the amendment, but there the amendments must
cease until the latter has been disposed of.

When, however, an amendment has been submitted, the in-
tention of which is to strike out the entire section, it is com-
petent for a member to submit an amendment to the section,
and another amendment to that amendment. When the two
latter are disposed of, other amendments in the same degree
can be proposed. The question on the motion to strike out
being postponed until the friends of the measure have an op-
portunity of making it acceptable by amendments.

PREAMBLES AND TITLES.

After the bill has been considered the preamble comes up
for adoption, and the vote is taken on the whole by yeas and
nays. The title is then open to amendment.

, HOUSE BILLS AMENDED BY THE SENATE.

When a bill is returned from the Senate with amendments,
the question is taken upon the adoption of the Senate's amend-
ments. The proper motion then is, if the amendments are
agreeable to the committee which introduced the bill: "Mr.
Speaker, I move that the House concur in the amendments of
the Senate." The question is taken upon the adoption of
the motion. If agreed to, the bill as amended, is passed by '
yeas and nays. If not agreeable to the Committee, a motion
that the House does not concur in the Senate's amendments
is the proper one, and if sustained by a vote of the House, the
chairman of the committee submits for adoption a message to
the Senate, as follows:

BY TUB HOUSE OF DELEGATES,

Gentlemen of the Senate:

The House of Delegates having refused to concur in amend-
ments proposed by the Senate to the House Bill entitled (here
