WESTPORT. 7th January.
The result of the poll has been declared as follows : — Henry 487, O'Conor 451. Only two informal votes were struck off on either side. One case of personation has already been made the subject of a criminal action, and the party is under arrest at Charleston. Dr. Henry, in returning thanks, eulogised the Returning Officer. A man named Foley, of Charleston, has been arrested for personation in voting for O'Conor. Warden Giles is just leaving the district for Wanganui, after eight years residence here. Dr. Giles, in a feeling speech, bid adieu to his Westport friends.
