536 PARLIAMENTS OF THE DOMINIONS [part 101 3. The following provision is made by Act No. 959 passed in 1908 for the settlement of differences between the two Houses :— (1) Whenever any Bill for an Act has been passed by the House of Assembly during any session of Parliament, and the same Bill, or a similar Bill with substantially the same objects and having the same title, has been passed by the House of Assembly during the next ensuing Parliament, a general election of the House of Assembly having taken place between such two Parliaments, and the second and third readings of such Bill having been passed in the second instance by an absolute majority of the whole number of members of the said House of Assembly, and both such Bills have been rejected by or fail to become law in conse- quence of any amendments made therein by the Legislative Council, it shall be lawful for but not obligatory upon the Governor of the said state, within six months after the last rejection or failure, by proclamation to be published in the Government Gazette, to dissolve the Legislative Council and House of Assembly, and thereupon all the members of both Houses of Parliament shall vacate their seats, and members shall be elected to supply the vacancies so created ; or for the Governor, within six months after such rejection or failure, to issue writs for the election of three additional members for the Central District and of two additional members for each of the other districts of the Legislative Council. (2) After the issue of such writs no vacancy, whether arising before or after the issue thereof, shall be filied, except as may be necessary to bring the representation of the district in which such vacancy occurs to its proper number as set forth in First Schedule hereto. Whenever there are more seats vacated by members returned for the same district than are to be filled, and such members’ seats were of unequal tenure, the seats of those members the unexpired portions of whose terms are the shorter shall be first filled. (3) Upon every such dissolution of the Legislative Council the order of retirement, as between the members elected after such dissolution, shall be as provided in s. 12 of this Act; and one half of such members shall retire after three years’ service, calculated from the first day of March of the year of their election. or after such further period as 18 provided for in s. 11.
