SECTION XXIX.BILL, REPORT TAKEN UP.When the report of a paper, originating with a committee, is taken up by the House, they proceed exactly as in committee. Here, as in committee, when the paragraphs have, on distinct questions, been agreed toseriatim,—5Grey, 365; 6Grey, 368; 8Grey, 47, 104, 360; 1Torbuck's deb.124; 3Hats.348,—no question need be put on the whole report.—5Grey, 381.On taking up a bill reported with amendments, the amendments only are read by the clerk. The Speaker then reads the first, and puts it to the question, and so on till the whole are adopted or rejected, before any other amendment be admitted, except it be an amendment to an amendment.—Elsynge's Mem.23. When through the amendments of the committee, the Speaker pauses, and gives time for amendments to be proposed in the House to the body of the bill; as he does also if it has been reported without amendments; putting no question but on amendments proposed; and when through the whole, he puts the question, Whether the bill shall be read the third time?
