SIR,— Understanding- that a second vacancy is likely to occur in the representation of the Christchurch Country District in the House of Representatives, we beg leave to request that you will allow yourself to be put in nomination as a candidate to fill that vacancy. : The character and importance of the questions which are likely to come under discussion in the approaching Session of the General Assembly, render it, in our opinion, essential that this province should be represented there by persons whose ability and experience of public affairs render them well qualified to defend its interest. We trust, therefore, that the reasons which prevented you some time since from complying with a similar request from the^lectors of Lyttelton may no longer operate; and should you accede to this requisition, we pledge ourselves to use our best endeavours to secure your return. We are, sir, Your obedient servants, J. Ollivier E. Goodacre R. Brunsden Thos. I. Joyht R. Rickmah C. G. Hodgson J.P.Wilkinson E. C. Latter W. C. Beswick D. Innes W. K. Purnell T. G.
