M. and two P. M., and during the session of the Legislature from nine A. M. to one P. M., and from two P. M. to five P. M., and from seven to nine in the evening.-Act of January 25, 1854.

2. During the time the Library is open the Librarian, or his assistant, shall be in attendance. They shall preserve order, and exclude, if necessary, any disorderly person. They shall prevent smoking, loud talking, and all noise inappropriate to the quietness of a place of study.

3. A member of the Legislature, or officer of the government, may have the use of a single duodecimo one week, two duodecimos two weeks, an octavo two weeks, a quarto three weeks, and a folio four weeks, which shall be returned to the Librarian at the expiration of the time allowed; and no member shall receive more than one folio, one quarto, two octavos or two duodecimos, within the time aforesaid, unless when so connected as to be otherwise useless.

4. It shall be the duty of the Librarian to register, in a book provided for that purpose, the names of the member, or officer of the government, who shall take a book from the Library, together with the

title of the book and the time at which it was taken out; and in case any member or officer aforesaid shall keep the book so registered in his name for a longer period than is provided in the third rule, the Librarian shall give notice to the said member or officer to return the same; and any member or officer who shall neglect to return said book to the Librarion two days after such notice being given shall be fined twelve and a half cents for every day he shall retain the same; and if he lose a book belonging to a set, or so injure it as to render it worthless, he shall pay the cost of the whole set, and if it be a single volume he shall pay the price of it. For any injury not amounting to destruction, to any book, the person causing the same shall pay a sum sufficient to compensate for the said injury.

5. Whenever any member shall obtain leave of absence for the remainder of the session, the Library Committee shall ascertain of the Librarian whether any such member shall have returned the books which he may have received from the Library, and have paid the fines which may have been incurred by him; and in case of failure, the same deduction shall be made in the settlement of the accounts of such members as directed in a subsequent rule.

6. No book shall be issued by the Librarian within five days of the close of the session, and all books taken out by the members shall be returned to the Librarian five days previous to the adjournment of the Legislature.
