Section 17.—If on a subject in respect to which the interests of two

different estates or provinces may be at variance with each other,

a particular estate or province should have reason to complain of

a resolution according to the terms of Section 16, a separation of

the Assembly into its component parts takes place, if a majority of

two-thirds of the said estate or province be obtained.

In such case the estate or province must discuss the matter separately,

or pass a separate vote, and the various views entertained on the subject

will afterwards be submitted to our decision.

Also, in other cases, we reserve to ourselves the privilege of requiring,

when we think fit so to do, a separate opinion from each of the estates

and provinces.
