up and calls him by name, whereupon he proceeds, unless he voluntarily sits down
and yields the floor to the other.

of the house, except ntciely to e^j'uain himself 111 some material part of his speech,
or to the niUTjuer of the words in que^Lum, keeping himself to that only and not
going into the merits of it.
