POST-SESSIONAL ADDRESSES.

(To the Editor.) Dear Sir,—Doubtless many other of your readers besides myself read with interest the letter concerning Mr Field and post-sessional addresses, written recently by J. E. Allen. Mr Allen’s letter throws a certain amount of light on the reason's for Mr Field’s not replying to the letter on the same subject written previously to last session. There are no doubt a good many other electors (both supporters and opponents of Mr Field) who also consider that it is their due that Mr. Field should enlighten them a little on what Parliament as a whole, and he as our representative have done in the hist four and a-half years. If J. F. Allen’s statement is correct (and apparently it is, n« Mr. Field has not contradicted ID, that Mr Field promised him personally to give an addresg after last session, it certainly seems as fhough for some reason or other Mr Field is shirking his duties and tiny fulfilment of a promise. The only occasion on which Mr Field has delivered an address since he has been in Parliament was the occasion when the electors at Golden Bar had him “on the carpet” to explain certain of his actions. J. K. Allen is not alone by any means in wondering why the electors in this district have been so studiously ignored, I am, etc., i SUPPORTER.
