340 SECRETARIAL PRACTICE the minutes should record the fact that the chairman declared the resolution carried by the requisite majority. A form of resolution, happily not of frequent occurrence in shareholders’ meetings, is for a shareholder to move ‘the previous question.” This is sometimes done where a dis- cussion upon a particular subject is carried to inordinate length, and the meeting desires to close such discussion. By far the better way, when a shareholder desires that a particular motion shall not be put to the vote, is for such shareholder to move ‘That the meeting do proceed to the next business.” These words convey the exact intention of the motion, and if seconded and carried, have the same effect as the moving of ‘the previous question.” It is customary for a motion of this character to be put to the vote without debate. The minute should read: ‘Mr. A. B. moved and Mr. C. D. seconded, that the meeting do proceed to the next business. This was put to the meeting and declared by the chairman to be carried. The meeting accordingly proceeded to the discussion of the next item on the agenda.’ Or: ‘Mr. A. B. moved and Mr. C. D. seconded, that the meeting do proceed to the next business. This was put to the meeting and declared by the chairman to be lost. The discussion of the subject under consideration was then con- tinued.’
