Selwyn district last night, it was resolved to ask tbeir representative (Mr Beeves) to strenuously object to the passing of the Abolition Bill until after the next general election, and to oppose to the utmost section 27 of the Bill, and all other sections giving arbitrary and unlimited power to the Government of the colony. It was also decided to call Mr Beeves' attention to the necessity for such a large and important district as the Selwyn having an additional member. '
