TO THE ELECTORS GF THE TOWN OF LTTTELTON. GENTLEMEN.— The time is approaching when you will be called upon to elect four members, to represent your interests in the Provincial Council of this Province ; and I now beg to acquaint you, that I purpose offering myself for re-election for one of the seats at your disposal. It may possibly occur to some of you that the sittings of the General Assembly may clash with those of the Provincial Council, and thus bar my attendance at one, or either of them. Ido not, however, anticipate such an occurrence, but in the event of such a con tingency arising, I would not hesitate to resign my seat in time to enable you to fill tip the vacancy. As an old resident of the Port, whose interests are intimately connected with your own in its welfare and advancement, and haying already represented you in the Council, I may fairly claim the privilege of seeking your suffrages for a seat on this occasion. Should Ibe honoured by being selected as one of your representatives, I shall endeavour to merit your confidence by doing my best to protect the rights and privileges of the Town and Port. I hope to have an opportunity of meeting you in public. Meantime remain, Gentlemen, Tour obedient servant, E. A. HARGREAVES. London street, 17th March, 1866. 1101 c JJOYAL PRINCESS' THEATRE.
