ADJOURNMENT, 19 ducted with wisdom, temper and prudence, he grants and upon all occasions will recognize and allow their constitutional privileges, “I am commanded also to assure you that the Assembly shall have ready access to His Honour upon all seasonable Occasions, and that their proceedings as well as your words and actions will constantly receive from him the most favourable construction.” The members retired as before, and the Speaker informed SE the House of what had occurred. Leave was then given to beech bring in a bill, which was read a first time. In the afternoon the House was summoned to the Legislative Council to hear the speech read, and on its return the Speaker reported that the Lieutenant-Governor had been pleased to make a Speech to both Houses of which he had obtained a copy. The speech was ordered to be taken into consideration on the following day, and the House proceeded to appoint Committees and to transact other business. 4. Adjournment. “An adjournment of either House,” says Sir Wm. Anson or his Law and Custom of the Constitution’, “ takes place at its own discretion unaffected by the proceedings of the other House. Business pending at the time of the adjournment is ‘aken up at the point at which it dropped when the House Deets again.” This rule is followed in Canada. Each House usually adjourns from day to day, but on Fridays the adjourn- Dent is usually until Monday morning. 5. Prorogation and Dissolution. * Express powers of dissolving the Legislature were given Proroga. bo the Lieutenant-Governors of Ontario and Quebec by s. 85 hon. of the B.N. A. Act, but no reference was made to proroga- bon or to dissolution in the other provinces’. Some of 1p. 63. 2 See ante, p. 44.
