Rh "that this society organize a community singing school." [Seconded.]

The motion was lost. Did the gentleman vote against it?

I did.

It is moved and seconded to reconsider the vote on the motion "that this society organize a community singing school."

[as he begins to speak on the importance of organising a community singing school is interrupted].

[rising and interrupting]: Mr. President, I rise to a point of order.

The gentleman will state his point.

The gentleman has already spoken on the question and we adopted an order limiting each speaker to one speech on this question.

The gentleman's point is not well taken. The motion to limit debate was exhausted when the assembly had voted on all the questions upon which it was ordered. The order having been exhausted is not revived when a vote taken under it is reconsidered. Mr. P has the floor.

[Debate, question put, and the motion to reconsider is adopted.]

The question is now on the motion "that the society organize a community singing school." Are you ready for the question?

[After debate the question is put and the motion is adopted.]
