Evening session. The Speaker called the House to order at 7½ o'clock. The Stay Law being the unfinished business, was called up, the question before the House being the adoption of Mr. Duckwall's substitute. That gentleman proposed to amend further by adding a section making process in actions commenced within one year in County Courts returnable to the first day of the quarterly terms of such Courts, held after bringing such actions; also, proposing to suspend for one year the operaote for a stay law, but as such an one could not be framed constitutionally for the relief of all classes of creditors, he should vote against the present bill. Messrs. Robertson and Wilson opposed the substitute, which was advocated by Messrs. Duckwall and Anderson, and the vote being called on the adoption of the substitute, in place of the original bill, the House refused by a tie vote--54 to 54. On the third reading of the bill, Mr. Kaufman moved to strike out the 3d section.
