Houses, is the law and usage of Parliament; and the best evidence of that usage and custom of Parliaments, are the most frequent and authentic precedents."

“Resolutions, or declarations entered in the Journal, expressive of the opinion of the House relative to its rules, or usages, constitute another source of parliamentary practice, of equal, if not superior, authority with that already mentioned.”

“Precedents are established upon a careful consideration of analogous cases.

“ The value ascribed to precedents in the parliamentary law of England, is not less in this country; but their existence does not appear to be ascertained in the same formal and solemn manner.
