PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURES, 7 When a dissolution takes place, a proclamation is issued i dissolving the Assembly. This is followed by a second pro- solution, clamation announcing that orders have been given for issuing writs for holding a new election and directing the writs to bear a certain date, and to be returnable on a certain date, and fixing the day on which nominations are to be held. A further proclamation directs the legislature to meet on a given day. 3. The opening of the Legislature. The method of opening a provincial legislature is similar English to that followed at the opening of the Imperial Parliament. Dee The proceedings in Quebec for instance at the opening of the new parliament in 1882 were as follows: On the first day of the meeting appointed for the despatch Swearing of business pursuant to the Proclamation of the Lieutenant- members, Governor, the Commissioners appointed to administer the oath of allegiance to the members—usually the clerk and the clerk’s assistant—attended at the table of the House at the hour of ten in the morning, and proceeded to swear in members who sub- scribed the roll containing the oath. At three o'clock in the afternoon the members who had taken the oath assembled and took their seats in the House and awaited a message from the Lieutenant-Governor. On receiving a message through the Usher of the Black Rod to the effect that “ His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor desires the immediate attendance of the members of this Hon. Assembly in the Legislative Council Chamber” the members proceeded to the Council Chamber. The Clerk of the Legislative Council then addressed them as follows: “ Honourable Gentlemen and Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly. + All the Provincial Assemblies have a standing order to the effect that in unprovided cases the rules, usages and forms of the Imperial House of Commons as in force at the time shall be followed.
