TO A. R. CREYKE, ESQ. SIR,— We, the undersigned Electors in the Avon District hereby, request you to allow yourself to be put in nomination as a candidate for the representation of this district in the next General Assembly, and we pledge ourselves to do all in our power to further your election. . ffiumerously-sigaiafL)— „_ Christchurch, Jan. 21,1861.

TO A. R CBEYEE, ESQ. Sir,—l have the honor.-to..transmit you a requisition calling- on you to allow yourself to be put iv nomination as member of the House of Representatives for the Avon District and shall be happy to learn that you are prepared to accede to the request. I am, &c, WM. THOMSON. Scottstoun, Jan. 22,1861. TO W. THOMSON, ESQ. Sib,, —I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of a requisition, signed by yourself and several electors of the Avon district, requesting me to allow myself to be put in nomination as a candidate for the representation of that district in the next General Assembly. I fully appreciate the compliment you pay, and have great pleasure in acceding to your request. I am, sir, your obedient servant, A. R. CREYKE. Christchurch, Jan. 22,1861.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE AVON DISTRICT. f^ ENTLEMEN,—In compliance with the vjr above requisition,! beg1 to solicit your suffrages as a candidate for your representation in the next General Assembly. I should have much diffidence in asking you for your votes, were any other candidate in the field; but as there is none, and the day of nomination is close at hand, I conceive it to be my duty to accede to your request, believing, as I do, that it is of vital importance to our interests that no district in this island should be unrepresented. I need hardly say that my interests are so thoroughly identified with your own, that should you elect me, you may rest assured I shall do my best to promote such measures as will be conducive to our welfare. With regard to the two most prominent topics of the day,-—the War and the New Provinces Act,— I believe the war to be a just war, and I think it should be prosecuted with the utmost vigour. The New Provinces Act I consider a measure fraught with imminent danger, and I think that the constitution of the New Provinces should be left to the General Assembly, whom I deem to be the only constitutional judges of the desirability of establishing New Provinces. I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, A. R. CREYKE. Christchurch, Jan. 23,1861.

TO THE ELECTOES OF THE HEATHCOTE DISTRICT. r\ ENTLEMEN,—The Writs for the BleoLJ tion of new members for the General Assembly having arrived from the seat of Governmcnfc, I have the honor to offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages.In the event of your choice falling upon me, my best endeavours will be given to represent the general interests of New Zealand, and to watch over those of our own province. I am of opinion with regard to the native disturbances that they must be put down with a firm hand, and as speedily as possible. The Now Provinces Act requires either repeal or material alteration. Upon the various other probable topics of the coming session, I shall be anxious to carefully inform myself, and if elected, vote consistently with the common welfare. I am, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, m . LJ , T ■GEO.W. HALL. Clmstchurch, Jan, 22,1861.
