[Mere follow the signatures.] Christchurch, Nov. 6, 1855. Sir, —I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a requisition signed by yourself and others of the electors of Lyttelton, requesting me to allow myself again to be put in nomination as the representative for Lyttelton in the next General Assembly. I was, as you are aware, very unwilling again to take any part in the public affairs of the colony generally ; both for private reasons and also . because the business of the Provincial ..Government fully-engages my time and attention. It has, however, been so strongly urged upon me by many of my friends that I may be of some use in advocating the claims of the Province in the adjustment of those important questions which will c>»me under discussion in the next session of the General Assembly, that 1 can hardly refuse to comply with your request. I have the more pleasure in doing so, because I see the names of so many electors of different political views attached to the requisition that I may hope my election will not be contested : for I should be exceedingly reluctant during the time I hold the office of Superintendent of the Province again to be placed in a position which would bring me into collision with any portion of the community. If the electors of Lyttelton should do me the high honour of again constituting me their representative, I need not say that I will do all in tuy power to promote the interests, both of Lyttelton and of the Province. It will be iiupossil.de for me to canvass the electors personally, but I shall be happy to attend at any public meeting to explain my views upon any public question. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, Jam us Edward Fitz Gerald. James Sp«wers, Esq., To the Electors of the Town of Christchurch. Gbntlbmen, I REJOICE to find that your late Representative in the General Assembly is again a candidate for your suffrages at the next election of numbers. Had I been aware of his intention, I should not have offered myself to your notice ; as it is, I beg now to retire from the field, with grateful acknowledgments to those amongst you who have voluntarily tendered me their support. I have the honor to he, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, John Sisager Gundiiy. Avobury, Ncv. 30, 1855,
