Public Notices 0 THE ELECTORS OF,THE HTJTT. Gentlemen, —The Presidency of.the Legislative Council having been offered me by the Government, I have decided, after a very careful consideration, to accept the offer. This step requires me to resign my seat in Parliament, as member for the Hutt. In thus severing the political ties which have united us for so many years, I feel a regret deeper than I can well express. In many fierce political struggles I have fearlessly advocated in your midst liberal and advanced views of policy ; and I shall cherish, as long as I live, a grateful memory of the generous support you always gave me. I am, yours faithfully, ' WILLIAM TITZHEEBERT.
