DECEDENTS' ESTATES.
Mr. CAUTHORNE moved to suspend the constitutional rule, and that the bill [S. 351--see pages 117 and 122 of this volume] to provide for the settlement and distribution of decedent estates be read the first and second times by title and the third time by sections, to-night.
Mr. RYAN moved to amend by saying that the bill be read the first and second times by title and the third time on Monday.
The amendment was agreed to--yeas, 74; nays, 6--and the bill was read by title the first and second times.
