The Editor has much pleasure in pre- senting the Fifth Edition of the Parlia- mentary Companion to the Canadian public. It will be observed that the work is much enlarged and improved — much new information, especially in relation to the Local Governments and Legislatures, being given — and it is hoped that in its amended form the Companion will prove of still more interest and value to its sup- porters, and to all those who take an interest in public affairs in Canada. The publication is now in the eighth year of its existence; and it. is gratifying to the Editor to know that the popularity which attended it in its earlier days remains undiminished.

Amendment. — See Order. Avoidance OP a Decision. — When a motion has been made upon which the House is unwilling to come to a vote, there are certain formal modes of avoiding a decision, amongst which are " passing of the other orders of the day," or " moving the previous question." The former means that the House should — casting aside and taking no notice to the matter then before it — proceed to the other business appointed for that day ; the latter, that a vote be previously taken as to the expediency of ^coming to any decision on the question raised. If " the previous question" be negatived as a matter of expediency, the motion to which it re- ferred is only gotten rid of for the time, whereas a direct negative to the motion itself would be a proscription of it for the remainder of the Session, as well as a denial of its principlo. With respect T !1 ■ '■■ k ,' \i >;■ f" ; '». 1 i ( I 'U 4 II 38 to a Bill, mcving that it *' be read this day six months/' or " this day three months," is a mode of throwing it out without coming to an express declaration against the principle of the measure. Bills (Private). — Private Bills are chiefly in- troduced to enable individuals or bodies corporate to undertake works of public utility at their own risk, and chiefly for their own emolument and benefit ; but there are other private bills which frequently come before Parliament, such as Bills for adjusting claims to property between individ- ual claimants, and Bills relating to divorce, na- turalization, &c.f 4&C. The expenses of legislation in such matters must be paid by the parties seek- ing the relief; and certain deposits, varying in amount, must be made before the measure can be taken up by the Private Bill Committee. All these Bills have to be read a second time, and then, if all the rules of the House have been com- plied with, they go to the Committee, and it Is be- fore this Committee that proper attention must be given by the parties interested. Individuals or companies may appear by Parliamentary Agents. Bills (Public). — A Bill is the draft or skeleton of a Statute. Any bill which the Senate can orig- inate may be introduced and laid on the table by any individual Senator without the previous per- mission of the House ; but in the Commons, no bill can be brought in unless a motion for leave be previously agreed to. Permission having been granted, a Committee is appointed to prepare the bill. It is then brought in and read a first time, without amendment or debate, and a day is ap- pointed for a second reading, previous to which it is printed, and a copy furnished to each member. The bUI> after the second reading, is referred to a 39 Committee of the Whole House, at the sittings of which its details are Cuosidered, as its principles were at each of its several readings. Members are at liberty to discuss its principles at any of its stages, but no one is considered to have declared decisively in favor of its principles, unless by his vote he supports its second reading. In Commit- tee, the bill is debated clause by clause, the blanks left for names, dates, nature and amount of penalties, &c., are filled up, and sometimes the bill is entirely new-modelled. The blanks, as they are called, which are usually filled up, in italics, are agreed to without a question being put, unless a member should propose to alter them. The next proceeding is, that the Chairman of the Committee should make a report to the House of the changes that the bill has undergone, which he does by presenting a copy of it to the Speaker in its altered form. The report of the Committee is agreed to without discussion, the bill is ordered to be printed, and it is then read a third time, when any further amendments can be made. If a new clause be added, it is called a rider. The last question but one is, that the " bill do pass;'' after this nothing remains except to determine its title, which used to be a general one for all the acts passed in the session, but in modern times distinct titles are used for each statute. During the progress of a bill the House may divide on the following questions : 1st. on the second reading ; 2nd. that it be committed ; 3rd. that the report of the committee be received j 4th. or that the bill be re -committed ; 5th. that it be read a third time ; 6th. that it do pass ; 7th. the title of the bill. These are quite exclusive of any divisions in Committee, or any amendments, or of any clauses added to or expunged from the measure in or out of the committee. Alterations _ '■ 1 t- ■■ I ' i;i.k 1 ■(■■ i ■ -1 ' U ■:'i' i i I. i i 1 40 are not usually proposed in a bill until after its principle has been disposed of on the second read- ing. Immediately after the passing of a bill, it is taken by a member to the bar of the Senate de- siring their concurrence, whe^e it passes through the same forms as in the Commons. If the Bill be rejected, no fuither proceedings ensue. When the Senale agree Tvith the Commons in the prin- ciple of the measure, but differ on matters of detail, a conference usually follows between mem- bers deputed irom each house, who generally succeed in adjusting the difi'erence; but if both houses remain inflexible, the bill is dropped. The same proceedings are adopted nutatia rputandia when the bill originates in the Upper Houeie. The bill ha^mg thus passed both houses, remains with the Senate, except m the case of a bill of supply, which :s sent back to the Commons, to be by them presented at the bar of the Senate to the Kepre- sentative of the Sovereigin. The assent of the Crown is the final proceeding which converts a bill into an Act of Parliament. (See ''Boyal Assent.") Budget (the). — The Minister of Finance makes one general statement every year to the House of Commons, the object of which is to present a com* grehensive view of the financial condition of the •ominion. Sometimes there are preliminary, or supplemental, or occasional speeches; but the great general statement of the year has, for a long time past, been quaintly called " the Budget/* from the French hougeite, by a common figure of speech, putting the name of that which incloses, to signify the thin*; contained. The annual speech known by that appellation embraces a review of the income and expenditure of the past year, as compared with those of preceding years ; remarks 41 impositioi detail of the public expenditure during the current period, with its grounds of justification. Cabinet. — The government of a state or com- munity is understood to signify the exercise of supreme authority, and includes the executive, the legislative, and the judicial powers ; but in popular acceptation it means only the first of these, the higher and more immediate functions of which are exercised by the Cabinet, a select body through whom, for the time being, the principal functions of royalty are discharged. It is only since the adoption of the system of Responsible Government that any of the B. N. A. Provinces has had a Cabinet of Ministers. Before this took place, those who advised the Executive or Her Majesty's Representative, were called, as they were in fact, Members of the Executive Council. They are here dignified by the same name as that by which they are acknowledged in the Parent State — they are called the Government, when the fact is that this word only applies to the three Estates which constitute the Government; but we have come into the use of the term usually employed in England, and ;«s such it will be the best to use it. When speaking of the Supreme Government of the Dominion the people under- stand the members of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada. The Queen's Privy Council for Canada is composed of thirteen members. It usually in' ludes all those who are bound to retire when a change of Ministry takes jfjplace. The Privy Council being more immediately responsible for the conduct of public affairs, their delibera- I y^ J t ^ :^^ J . : ■At ) , . ( >■ !;i 42 tions are always considered confidentiali and are kept secret. The head of the Cabinet, who has been entrusted with its formation, is called " The Premier," but more properly " the head of Her Majesty's Canadian Government." The Cabinet, as it diands et present, comprises the following offioors . — " The Minister of Justice and Attorney General ;" " The Minister of Militia and Defence j" " The Minister of Customs j " ^* The Minister of Finance j " The Minister of Public Works j " ** The Minister of Inland Revenue ; " " The Secre- tary of State for the Provinces ; " " The Minister of Marine and Fisheries ; " " The President of the Queen's Privy Council;" "The Postmaster General ; " " The Secretary of State of Canada ; " ** The Minister of Agriculture ; " and " The Re- ceiver General." They usually resign when they have lost the confidence of the House of Commons, or they may be dismissed by Her Majesty's Repre- sentative, and either House can, by address to the Governor General, ask for the dismissal of his Cabinet or advisers. The members of the Cabinet, or Administration, are supposed to agree upon principles of policy and legislation, and are ex- pected to co-operate in Parliament, upon all mat- ters and questions not specifically agreed upon as ** open questions." The office of Premier may bo held in Jconjunction with either of the principal departments of State, though heretofore it has been usually associated wit? the office of Attorney General. Clerk op thf Crown in Chancery. — The Clerk of the Crown in Chancery is by right an officer of both Houses of Parliament. His duties are to take charge of all the Poll Books and Election documents ; to issue Writs cf Election, &c. ; attend with those at the Tdble when so ordered by the 43 House ; and at the closing of each session of Par- liament to read aloud the title of each several Bill before it receives the Royal assent by Her Majesty's Hepresentative. We reproduce from Macqueen* a Appellate Jurisdiction of the House of Lordsy that portion which refers to the duties of this officer in England :— *' The duties of the Clerk of the Crown do not now, as heretofore, require his constant attendance in the House of Lords. He assists when the Royal assent is given to Bills ; but has no concern with the business of the ^ Appellate Jurisdiction. In an ancient manuscript, preserved in the office of the Clerk of the Crown, the following particulars are given respecting this ancient officer : — * The Clerk of the Crown sitteth in the Upper House of Parliament, by the Clerk of that Court, upon the Woolsack, attending there all the Parliament, and is sometimes sent on mes- sages to the Lower House ; and on the last day of the Parliament he readeth the Acts, and the Clerk or the Parliament giveth the King's answer ; where it is to be noted that all the time of Parlia- ment he sitteth on the right band of the Clerk of Parliament, and {when he readeth the Acts, he standeth on his left hand, which is the higher place, being on the King's right hand.' " Clbrk op the House op Commons. — " The Clerk of the Commons House of Parliament" holds an office of great trust and importance. He, with one assistant, sits at the upper end of the table. The Crown appoints him by commis- sion. It is his duty to make minutes, not of the arguments held in the House, but of the decisions at which it arrives — in other words, to record its votes, resolutions, addresses, orders, reports, divisions, and all other proceedings in which it may be engaged ; to see that the^ are I. I" .i M ' f r \ I 44 oorreotly printed and distributed to the members ; to read aloud all such documents as the House may order to be read ; to perform the duty (with- out tailing the chair) of president or moderator during the choice of a Speaker, putting a question and directing a division in the same manner that a chairman would do. m ;i s:'^ili Mil! Committals. — In common with courts of law and equity, the Houses of Parliament can punish all contempts of their authority or disobedience of their mandates. Each House is armed with power to repress any aggression committed upon its rights, or any interference with its privileges; but in the case of the Commons the operation of this power is limited to the ses- sion of Parliament; committals by that House being invalidated by a prorogation. Either House can delegate to a committee the power of sending for papers and records, and of enforcing the attendance of necessary witnesses. Committees. — Are, first, those of the whole House, which may be to consider certain resolu- tions, as to the nature of which considerable lati- tude prevails ; or the House resblves itself into such Committee, to consider the details of a Bill, the principle of which may be discussed at any or all of its other stages ; or there may be Commit- tees for financial purposes, as those of ** Supply," or "Ways and Means" (which see). Secondly, There are Select Committees chosen by ballot or otherwise, for some specific purpose — the number ooiziposing such bodies seldom exceeds fifteen members except by permission of the House. Thirdly, Election Committees, which are judicial tribunals, appointed to try the merits of contro- verted elections. They are appointed by a Gene- 45 ral Committee on elections, who, after having selected a certain number from the members to constitute the chairman's panel, divide the re- mainder into panels, and report the same to the House, marked 1, 2, and 3. The Clerk, in the presence of the House, places the whole three in a hat and draws them forth, marking each in rota- tion A, B, C. The General Committee then selects four members for the Committee for the first controverted election referred to them, and at the same time the chairman's panel assembles a^^d ballots for a chairman for the particular Commit- tee chosen. Fourthly, Committees on Private Bills (which see). When the whole House is in Committee, the Speaker vacates the Chair, the Mace is placed under the table, and some other Member is called on to preside, who sits in the seat of the senior Clerk. Conference. — This is a species of negotiation between the two Houses of Parliament, conducted by managers appointed on both sides, for the pur- pose of producing concurrence, In cases where mutual consent is necessary ; or for the purpose of reconciling differences which may have arisen. If the conference be upon the subject of a bill depending between the two Houses, it must be demanded by that House which is in possession of the bill, at the time of asking the conference. It is the sole privilege of the Senate to name the time and place for holding a conference, no mat- ter by which House it may have been demanded. Reasons in writing for the course resolved to be taken, are usually furnished to the managers on both sides, in which case it is simply called ** a conference." Should this proceeding fail, a "free conference" must be held, which gives an oppor- tunity for the managers individually, and unre- ^^ V 1 1 i. 1 f % ■•hi •J' ( \A I 46 strained by any preciee form of argument, to urge such reasons as, in their judgment, may best tend to influence the House to which they are address- ed. A free conference is usually demanded after two conferences have been holden without effect. After one free conference, none other but free conferences can be held touching the same subject. Crown. — In speaking of the Crown, the reader must remember that the attributes and powers are exercised in Canada by a Representative — viz : the Governor General. Its attributes are : — To give or refuse to Bills " The Royul Assent; " to cause the laws to be duly administered and executed j to act in behalf of the whole commu- nity in its intercourse with other countries (but the B,epresentative of thf Crown can neither de- clare a war nor conclude a peace j this power cannot be delegated) ; to direct the Naval and Military forces within the limit of his Administration ; to administer the Public Revenue j to prorogue or dissolve Parlia- ment. The Queen's Representative, in appearing for the Crown, represents the source of justice and mercy, coiufers office, honors, and emoluments ; but in the same manner as the Monarch acts by Ministers who are amenable to the Imperial Parliament, so the Representative in Canada acts by Ministers who are responsible to Par- liament, and the choic of those Ministers is the only prerogative ^ .ich can be consti- tutionally exercised without responsible advisers j but even in this, Parliament, or rather the People's Representatives, exercise the controlling power j ibi the appointment of such Ministers by the Crown's Representative can have no practical effect, unless it rests upon men whose characters 47 and measures prove generally acceptable to the House. Estate op Parliament. — Parliament fully as- sembled, consists of the Monarch, or his Repre- sentative, the Upper House and the Lower House. They are more frequently spoken of as the three branches of the Legislature. Neither House de- liberates [in the presence of the Queen's Repre- sentative, nor will either of them permit any allu- sion in debate, to the opinions or sentiments en- tertained by him. The three branches taken together exercise none but legislative funtions, and they must all consent, or no law can be passed. But they have separate functions as well. The Monarch, or Representative, holds the whole executive authority, and while the Lower House alone can originate Money or Tax Bills, the Upper House is deprived of this power. Nor does the Upper House possess the great function of trying impeachments, which is held by the Lords in Great Britain, from the simple fact, we presume, that there is no power invested with the right to im- peach. But we will speak of each one separately : — House op Commons. — The Speaker takes the chair at 3 P. M. daily. If there be a quorum the business is proceeded with j if not, the House is adjourned till the next day, at 3 P. M. Early meetings take place shortly before the termination of the Session, in order to expedite business, and bring matters to a close ; the House does not usually meet on Saturday, nor does it assemble on any holiday. No one can be admitted to hear the debates without an order from the Sergeant-at- Armb, which is generally obtained through a Member. Twenty Members including the Speaker constitute a quorum. ,' I? ii '■. 1 - -■, j ■ i I u 1 1 MMlI'li'li; ■ 48 The Senate. — The time for the ordinary meeting of this House is at three o'clock in the afternoon, unless some other time shall have previously been ordered. If a quorum is not present at thirty minutes after the time of meeting, the House is adjourned until the next sitting day. Fifteen members including the Speaker constitute a quo- rum. The Speaker of the Senate is an Officer appointed by the Crown. Executive. — See Cabinet. Finance. — See Budget. Interruption op the Sittings op Parliament. — The proceedings of the Legislature may be inter- rupted or suspended either by adjournment, pro- rogation or dissolution. Adjournment, as the term itself implies, is a postponement of the sittings or proceedings of the House, from one time to another specified for the re-assemblage. When the sittings of both Houses are interrupted by royal authority, it is called prorogation. Dissolution puts au end to the re- presentative character of the individuals who, at the time, compose the House of Commons, and Parliament cannot therefore assemble until after a new election, except in cases hereinafter men- tioned. The power of adjournment is a right be- longing to each House, and there are no restraints to this power. The House of Commons can interrupt or post- pone any debate, defer the consideration of any measure, or {..together adjourn its sitting, but the practice is always to adjourn to some stated time ; and we think there can be no doubt that, by the previous permission of the House, the Speaker can 49 leave the Chair for a certain number of hours ; but this does not amount to an adjournment, and could not be noted as such by the Clerk. But it must be remarked that the adjournment of one House does not adjourn the other. The Crown may, pending an adjournment, summon by pro- clamation eimer House, or both, and may direct either, or both Houses, to adjourn to any parti- cular day. But while this power exists, and al- though in former times it has been frequently exercised in the Imperial Legislature, it has grown into desuetude there, as well as in the Provinces enjoying the privileges of their own local Legislatures. An individual member may for a time in- terrupt the progress of business by successive motions for adjournment, which mpy be repeat- ed indefinitely, with this restriction : no second motion to adjourn can be [made until after some intermediate proceeding shall have been had. The motion in committee, that the chairman re- port progress, is equivalent to a motion to adjourn the debate. Adjournment does not close the session; nor does prorogation terminate Parliament. The for- mer is an act which either House can perform : the latter is a power vested in the Crown, the duration of which may be subsequently shortened or extended as the Crown pleases. All unfinished business terminates and dies with a prorogation, but during an adjournment they remain in »tatu quo, to be revised on the le-assembling of Parlia- ment. A member who moves the adjournment of a debate, or who is in possession of the floor at the time of the adjournment, is said to be in pos- session of the House, with the right to re-open the debate which has been interrupted. This is not the case, however, when Committees of the IPi^-'f: W' }::■:■■ i'W •I I ^ > Ml It I li ii i I n „,, 50 whole House adjourn. Prorogation never extends beyond forty days, but it may be repeated from time to time byppvociaiaation, and continue to be renewed until if. is intended that Parliament shall meet for the despatch of business. The Crown can summon Parliament at .any time by giving fourteen day's notice. Dissolution is the simple derith of Parliament, and may be brought about in two ways, either by the pleasure of the Crown, or by lapse of time for which it was called into existenca. There was a time when the existence of a Parliament terminated by the demise of the Crown, but a special law removed this provision of the Constitution. But there is no power in the Constitution by which a Par- liament in Canada can be extended beyond five years. If Parliament, at the time of the Sovereign's death, be separated by adjournment or prorogation, it must assemble immediately, or within a reasonable period. If no Parliament be then in existence, the members of the last must again meet, and may serve as a Parliament for six months, unless sooner prorogued. Law Clerk. — It is necessary to mention this officer in particular, because the Rules of the House assign to him and the translators under him certain duties which must be performed, to ensure correct legislation. He is appointed by the Crown. It is laid down as the duty of the Law Clerk to revise all public Bills after their first reading, and to certify thereon that the same are correct; and in every subsequent stage of such Bills, the Law Clerk shall be responsible for the correctness of said Bills, should they be amended. The re- sponsibility is increased by the fact of all Bills having to be printed in both languages, English and French, before they can be dipposed of. 51 Minister (Prime). — See Cabinet. Ministry. — See Cabinet : also Executive. Money Bill. — See Supply: also Ways and Means. Order. — By this word is meant an obedience to certain rules and regulations intended to faci- litate the dispatch of business, and preserve that necessary decorum so essential in all deliberative assemblies. The Rules by whii h the business of Parliament is conducted are of two kinds j one class the House possesses in common with all de- liberative assemblies — another is peculiar to its own existence and powers. For the proper appli- cation of all these rules, the Speaker's or Chair- man's decision is had, and to this decision due deference is at all times paid. The Speaker, while in the Chair, takes no part in the debate, it being his duty to regulate the manner in which business shall be transacted; to confine those members who address the House to ta: subject under consideration; to give his opinj'^n in all things which relate to order ; to put the matter in dispute into the form of a question upon which the votes of members are taken, and to declare the majority as soon as it is communicated to him by the Clerk. It is also his duty to declare the business of the House closed, and to see chat the affairs of the House are correctly and properly recordea. After routine he calls upon the mem- ber whose motion stands first on the paper of no- tices, or who is otherwise entitled to precedence. All motions must be seconded, or they fall to the ground ; being seconded, the motion is handed in writing to the Speaker, who has to read it before debate can be had upon it — having been read, y» :J iM i t \i I 11 52 • :i objections may be urged. There are several ways by which a motion may be opposed j it may be met by a direct negative, or by an amendment, or by a motion to postpone, or by proceeding to the next order of the day, or by moving the pre- vious question, or by the simple motion of adjourn- ment. A motion once read cannot be withdrawn without the permission of the House. It must not be forgotten that unless a speech is made object- ing to a motion, neither mover nor seconder can speak a second time, except in explanation. If, however, a debate does arise, in which an opposi- tion is given to the mover of a motion, he has the right of reply; but it must be understood that this privilege does not belong to the mover of an amendment. All are permitted to explain. The debate being ended, the Speaker or Chairman puts the question, and calls upon those in favor to say " Yea," and those of a contrary opinion to say " Nay." He then declares that in his opi- nion the ** Yeas" or the " Nays" (as the case may be) have it. If his decision is questioned, the House divides, the " Yeas" rising and their names being taken down; the "Nays" following; the numbers are counted from the record, and declared. When an amendment has been moved, the vote is simply taken on the amendment, and then on the original question. Should the amend- ment be adopted, it then becomds the substantive motion, and may be amended in the same way that the original motion was amended. Thus a number of successive amendments to the original motion may be disposed of. Any member is at liberty to interrupt another by " rising to order;" which means that he rises in his place, and calls the attention of the Chair and the House to a breach of the orders then being committed. In the debate it is contrary to order to mention any 53 k member by name ; the same rule prevails } i Committee of the Whole, except as regards t,!ie Chairman, who is sometimes called by his name, and not Mr. Chairman. Originating Bills. — All Bills relating to public income and expenditure, and all Bills usually called Money Bills, must originate in the Com- mons, and be introduced by the Government, (^ee Bills,) Parliamentary Agrnts. — In England all the business transacted for private Corporations and individuals, is attended to by what they call Parliamentary Agents, who are parties generally well up in the practice of Parliament, and who take off a great deal of the drudgery from Mem- bers. Parliamentary Agents are now employed in Canada, and are a very useful class of men. Being up in their business, they do not annoy the Members, nor neglect the interests fchey have in charge. Petitions. — There are several regulations * which govern the presentation of Petitions ot Parliament, which should be attended to by those who are interested. Petitions to the House of Commons should be addressed to " The Honorable the Commons of Canaday in Parliament assembled,** The petition must be respectful, the statement of grievance or cause of complaint must there be set forth, and the whole must conclude with a specific prayer. Without a prayer to the petition, it woula not be listened to, as the mere complaining for the sake of complaining will never be count- enanced by Parliament, and the correct form is, after having alleged your complaint, to finish by connecting it with the prayer, beginning, \: I i *1 • i! I M " Wherefore your humble petitioneTf <&c., prays, &c.,** setting forth the redress and relief that is sought. Signatures to petitions must be original; no agent should sign a petition to Parliament for any purpose. No chairman can sign for a public meeting, but the common seal of a cor- porat'on is received as the petition of the whole ?)o^T . All petitions must be in respectful and i< mj erate language; they should not animadvert r.r r. -he conduct of Parliament, the Courts of justice "r constituted authorities. It is not proper to make reference to any motion or sub- ject under debate, or to a motion in the course of preparation. After presentation, all petitions undergo a close inspection in the Clerk's Depart- ment, and when the time comes for receiving them, the Speaker offers such remarks as their nature ealls for. In England there is a Commit- tee on Public Petitions, which takes this duty from the Speaker, and it appears to work well, for they frequently find in their duty to report the substance, and frequently the exact words of a petition to the House, and not unfrequently recommend such action to be taken as the case suggests. .^ • Previous Question. — See Avoidance of a Decision. Privileges op Parliament. — There are three kinds. 1st, The privileges which appertain to members individually. 2nd, Those which belong to the House in its collective capacity. 3rd. Those which belong to the two Houses jointly. It is unnecessary that we should here discuss the points of privilege which appercain to the two Imperial Houses conjointly on the subject of assuming the supreme power of the Realm. 3 course 55 Amongst the privileges wliicli the Oommons claims, are : — The power of committing individuals to prison — the power of pablishing matters which, if not issuing from such high authority, might become the subject of proceedings in a Court of Law,— the power of directing the J«aw Officers of the Crown to prosecute persons accused of offences against the laws, or affecting the privileges of Parliament, — and finally of doing anything not directly contravening an existing Act of Parlia- ment, which may be necessary for the vindicate ,* and protection of its own rights, in the exercis3 of its constitutional functions. Questions of y •'- vilege take precedence of all other procec* jt and are always in order. The privileges cleim ;i by individual members are — freedom of s* eech and person, including freedom from legal a ^ ^is and seizure under process from the Courts of Law and Equity. This does not extend to indictable oflFences or to actual contempts of the Courts of Justice. Members of Parliament are exempt from all duties, the performance of which might interfere with their prompt attendance to their Parliamentary calls. Privilege of Parliament, such as it is, continues for a convenient time after prorogation and dissolution. "^ ^ * "' "1 Iv't . ^ , 1' • I i : 1 T M n M 1 t 1 iJ m " li Prorogation. — See Interruption of the Sittings of Parliament. Question. — See Order. Royal Assent. — The Act by which the Crown agrees to a Bill is called the Eoyal Assent; this assent, is usually given at the end of a Session, unless there is urgent necessity for the Act be- coming law without loss of time, in which case ;!i ::l il li 56 mi the Governor General, or the person administer- ing the Government, comes aown to the Upper House, and there, in the presence of both Houses, give his assent. When this is done, either at the close of the Session or on a special occasion, the Governor General being seated on the throne, the House of Commons is summoned to the bar of the Upper House ; being there, the Clerk of the Crown in Chancery reads the title of the Bill, and hands it to the Chief Clerk, who says in both English and French : ''In the name of Her Majesty the Queen, His Excellency the Governor General sanctions this Bill." His Excellency specially manifests his assent to the Supply Bill. Bills to which the Royal assent is not given, are pro- nounced to be reserved for the signification of Her Majesty's pleasure thereon, and are men- tioned in the " Official Gazette " as having been reserved for Her Majesty's consideration. Unless a reserve is made in the Act itself, so soon as the Royal assent is given, the Act becomes a Law, and can be proceeded on before any competent Court. In England, sometimes the Royal assent is given by commission, but in a Province such an event has never taken place, although there can be no doubt that the Governor General has power to appoint a Commission to give this Royal assent. Sergeant-at-Arms. — This ofiicer, although in attendance on the House of Commons, is appoint- ed by the Crown. It is his duty to obey the commands of the House, to apprehend and take into custody all those who are committed for any offence by the House. ^U the messengers and servants of the House, except the Clerks, are under his orders. He has his seat at the Bar of the House, and directs all arrangements for the maintenance of order in the approaches thereto, and in the galleries. He is of course in imme- diate attendance upon the Speaker from whom he takes all orders connected with his dutieiu Session. — The Session is the term occupied by Parliament from its commencement to its proro- gation. An adjournment does not close a Session. Parliament is annually assembled for the des- patch of busineb... There are certain important Acts which are renewed every year, and without which the Government could not be carried on, I which compel the Government to meet theRepre- isentatives of the people, and render an account of the past year's transactions, once a year at least. Unless this be done, there *,vill be no sup- plies. By an understanding, Parliament meets in the month of February, although circumstances sometimes arise to postpone the time. While the Grown has a right to summon Parliament where lit please % it is generally understood that it inssembles at the Seat of Government. The House Ibeing assembled, the Governor General commands Ithe attendance of the Members of the Lower louse at the Bar of the Upper House, and deliv- ers a Speech from the Throne. This Speech is the first subject taken into consideration : no ather business is commenced until the answer to it is given. As is stated elscT.^here, the mere pot of one or both Houses adjourning, doer; not terminate the Session ; it can only terminate by jeing prorogued by the Crown. All bills and )ther measures left unPnished, when the proro- gation takes place, are dead, and parties Tzho rish to revive them, must recommence their labours at the next Session, as if nothing had lieen done in the premises. The mere assembling n Members does not constitute a Session, — on» 3 :.% ,. I :i J ■I' -M ! I ■1: i'l '1: i ^!iiiiri! .5 ii.i m ' m 58 Bill, at least, must pass both Houses, and receive the Royal Assent, before it can be called a Session. Speaker. — Beyond all doubt this officer was designated Speaker, from the fact of his being the spokesman of the Commons, in their inter- course with the Grown. He is the presiding officer of the body. He reads all communications which come from the Queen's Representative to the Commons ; he has to present and read such addresses and petitions as are carried up to the Governor General by the whole House, and to deliver the usual speeches, on the part of the Commons, when presenting the Supply Bill, and other Bills, calling for particular note and remark. Through him, all witnesses and prisoners at the Bar of the House are examined, and he directs all arrangements, when the House is to be ad- dressed by Counsel. I« is his duty to deliver the reprimand of the House to any one who has incurred the penalty of receiving it; it is also his duty to issue warrants of committal, or release for breach of privilege, to communicate with any Sarties, when so instructed by the House. It is is duty to closely examine the provisions of pri- vate Bills so as to protect the public against any surprise, or undue encroachment or injury; to control and regulate the conduct of subordinate officers of the House ; to enforce the Rules of the House; he cannot join in any debate unless in Committee of the whole House. As the presiding officer of the House, he has all the duties attached to such an office. The Speaker is chosen by the members of Parliament, subject to the approba-j tion of the representative of the Crown, and holds his office until the Parliament in which he is elected is dissolved. Should a member persevere in disobeying the order of the Speaker and of the j 59 House, the Speaker may *'name him/' as the tRrm applies, a course uniformly followed by the f;ensure of the House. In extreme oases, the Speaker may order members or others into custo- dy until the pleasure of the House be signified. I On divisions, when the numbers happen to be equal, he gives the casting vote, but he never otherwise votes. Supply. — All procef^dings which relate to the Ipoblio income or expenditure must originate with the Commons, and must be begun by resolution moved in Committee of Supply, which is always la Committee of the whole House. In the course lof the Session, estimates are submitted to a Com- Imittee of Supply, and resolutions moved thereon, [granting to the Crown the sums requisite for the Imanagement of the various departments of the JGovernment, and the support of various public md private institutions. Such as are confirmed by the Committee of Supply are reported to the louse, where they are again reconsidered and idopted, or rejected, as the case may be. Upon lihese, a Bill is passed, and this Supply Bill fur- nishes the authority to the Government for dis- bursing the various sums appropriated. The jpper House may reject this or any other money Sill, but they cannot alter or amend the substance bf a supply or money Bill j such a course would |ie regarded as an invasion of the privileges ef Lower House. Before any Bill can be intro- duced, author. /Ang the expenditure of any public iioney, resolutions must be moved in Committee If Supply, agreed to there, reported and confirm- |d by the House.

Loans, duties, taxes, excise and revenue of every description, are submitted to a Committee of Ways and Means. The propositions of Government on this subject are reduced to resolutions, submitted, considered and decided on, and such as are agreed to are reported to the House. Those which may be adopted are embodied in a Bill or Bills, and in due course and form become the law of the land. As in Supply, the Upper House may reject these Bills, but cannot amend them ; nor can the Upper House insert a pecuniary penalty in any Bill. 61 '1 ' PART III. HOUSE OP COMMONS. Hon.

MoBOAN.— TAe Montreal Printing and Pub- lishinff 6omy>nny, Printers.— It Is believed by the under- signed tbat the time has arrived for the publication in Canada of an ANNUAL RECORD OF PUBLIC EVENTS" similar to that which has been so long published, and is so w(.ll ^nown In England. The rapid strides of the Dom'inloii are attracting the attention of the civilized world. It will be the aim of the Editor to chronicle each year the le9dlng events so rapidly succeeding each othf.r in the formation of our national character and national greatness. The Editor proposes to commence with the birth and Infancy of the Canad an Confederation. The flrst volume of his Registrar will therefore ontam the following: I. The Political and Parliamentary History oi 1867 including: ' 1, A Preliminary Sketch of the Proceedings in the B. N. A. Provinces in 1864-6') and '66 which led to Con- federation. 2' An Account of the London Colonial Conference of 1866-67. J. The Debates of the English Parliament on the Union of the B- A. Colonies, &c. 4. The formation of the Local Gsvernments. 5. The General Election and its Issues, with the names of the successful and unsuccessful candidates, and the number of votes polled for each respectiv e>y. 6. A Sketch of the Business oft he Dominion Parlia- ment, and of tho several Local Lf^glslatures, with full and accurate reports of the princlpa speeches delivt^red during the Sessions o» those bodies. II. The Financial Affairs of the Dominion. III. The Church In Canada. IV. Retrospect of Literature, Art and Science. V. Journal of Remarkable Occurrences. VI. Promotions, Appointments and Changes in the Public Service; Unlvrslty Honours, Ac. VII. Obituary of Ci^lebrated Persons. VIII. Public Documents and State Papers of import- ance. It is hoped that the undertaking will recei /e that encou- ragement which Its importance des rves. The annual history which the Editor proposes to publish will be of great value to all Interested In the future of our couritry.
