A MEMBER IN REVOLT.
CHRISTCHURCH, November 25. Mr Meredith, member for Ashley, a;v dressed his constituents on Saturday evening. He severely criticised the Premier, and concluded with a long statement with reference to the Glentui incident. In replying to questions as to which side of tin* House he would be found next session, he stated that he was Liberal by conviction, and would always support Liberal measures and a pure Liberal Administration. He could not follow Captain Russell, although he considered him the most gentlemanly, honourable, and upright man he had ever met, and on whose veracity he would stake his life. The Premier, on the contrary, was most insulting to members of the House, and was too autocratic. The time was drawing near when, in the interests of the colony, a change would have to be made m tin Government. A vote of confidence wat carried.
