He had no authority to adjourn the House. Mr. Sucer, the Chaplain, came in as usual to perform hia duty, if necessary. Mr. BANks quoted the order of the House adopted om the first day of the session, that twelve o'clock shall be fixed as the hour to which the House shall stand ad- journed each day till otherwise ordered. Therefore, the House stands adjourned by its own order. The SrxakgR overruled the point, mainly because the legislative day still continues, and because there cannot Lea meeting of the body without an adjournment.
