April 19. Mr Rolleston, M.H.U., addressed his constituents last night. He said one of the greatest evils of late years had been that Ministers wandered about the colony, the Ministry thus being made responsible for the acts of any one of its members, which led to serious trouble and difficulties. The Ministry j was unhappily constituted. Members of the House, who had been elected to oppose the Ministry, had joined it, and now it represented every kind of principle. The colony has been badly treated by public men changing their opinions after election. The run question had been unfairly made a political matter, when it was purely local. His opinion was that the tenure of pastoral tenants was merely one for grazing, and the State was bound to get the utmost value, but not to do that at the expense of shutting the country up in any way. If they go in for extreme rental they are bound to give extreme privileges i of tenure. With regard to the Go- . vernment proposal of deferred pay- j tnents for land, he thought it would j not be advisable to adopt it generally, but believed the Government would do wisely in connection with the immigration system to set apart blocks of land for the purpose of settlement on the system of deferred payments. It would be well to adopt the village system similar to what was formerly proposed by Mr Stafford,
