"Resolved, That the member from Kentucky, (Mr. Williams,) having refused to take his seat when ordered to do so by the chairman of the Committee of the Whole House, having ordered the chairman to take his seat, and having defied the power of the chair and the House, has committed a contempt of this House, and is justly liable to its censure.”
