The following are later returns than the above in cases where they are incomplete : — Waikato : Whyte'a majority is 70. 4 Rodney : Moat's majority 127. - Marsden : Thompson's majority 364. Franklin North : Lowry's majority 48, Bay of Islands : Hobbs's majority 152. Grey mouth : Guinness's majority 158, Westport : The returns received up to 4 p.m. give O'Connor a majority of 88, and the other returns will swell it. St. Albans : There is some doubt about the correctness with which the figoroa have been wired. Probably Garrick beat Reeves.
