POLITICAL.
Mr Field, explaining his vote with the Opposition on the recent no-confidence motion : He felt mean to the Government, mean to the party, and particularly mean to those freeholders of his side who stood loyally to their chief and the Government and supported them in the lobby, but though he had that feeling he had his pledges remember, and was therefore forced to take the course that he followed. It had not come to him until afterwards that a party man had really no right to give a pledge to vote in a certain direction. A party man who gave such a pledge was no longer a party man.
