FINIS.

1. The following Orders shall be the Stand-
   ing Orders for regulating the proceedings on
   Private Bills in each House of the General
   Assembly, unless there is something contained
   in any such Standing Order which expressly
   makes a distinction between the two Houses,
   or an especial provision for either House: it
   shall not be necessary for the promoters of
   any Bill, having proved compliance with
   Standing Orders in the House in which the
   Petition for the Bill may be presented, to
   prove again compliance with the Standing
   Orders on the introduction of the Bill into
   the other House; but such Bill shall be
   carried from one House to the other House,
   and read a first time therein, as in the case
   of a Public Bill, anything in these Orders
   contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

Interpretation.
2. In the construction of these Standing
Orders, the words and phrases following
shall have the meanings here attached to
them, unless there be something in the con-
text repugnant to, or inconsistent with, such
meaning.

The word "House" shall mean the
Legislative Council, or the House of
Representatives, as the case may be, in
which the Bill may be at the time;
and the expression "other House," shall
signify the House of the General Assem-
bly in which the Bill shall not be at the
time.

The expressions "Speaker," "Chair-
man of Committees," and "Clerk," shall
mean similarly the "Speaker," "Chair-
man of Committees," and "Clerk" of the
House of Representatives, or Legislative
Council.

The term "Bill," or "Private Bill,"
shall mean any Bill comprised in any of
the classes hereafter mentioned, promoted
by any person, Body Politic or Corporate,
other than the Government of the colony.
