Gentlemen, —I beg to acknowledge the receipt of yours, requesting that I should allow myself to be nominated as one of the Candidates for the representation of the City in the Provincial Council. Circumstanced as I am, it is with great reluctance that I bring my mind to comply with your wish; but, considering the number of friends who have urged this duly upon me, in addition to those who now honor me with a formal request, I can no longer refuse to lend what assistance may be in my power towards the advancement of our common interests. I am aware that in many respects I am not qualified for the proper discharge of the important and responsible duties devolving upon every member of that Council; but, should the Electors of the City repose confidence in me, it shall be my endeavour to serve them to the best of my ability. I am, Gentlemen, Yours, etc., Arch. Clark. John Salmon, Esq., etc. TO MR. JAMES THOMAS BOYLAN. SIR, —We the undersigned Electors of the City of Auckland, knowing the value of having the interests of the People truly represented in the forthcoming Provincial Council by men of strictly independent and sound principles, request that you will allow'yourself to be nominated as one of the Candidates for the City.

Gilfdlan, John Watson Bain, Chas. Lawson. Queen-street, July 7, 1835. Gentlemen, — 1 did not purpose coming forward as a Candidate for public honours, because, apart from my business engagements, I felt, and still feel, that I was deficient in some of the most essential qualifications ; but as you kindly overlook that deficiency, and as a refusal on my part might be construed into apathy for the interests of the Province, I thankfully accede to your kind request, and pledge myself, in the event of my return, to use my best endeavours to promote the welfare of the Province. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, James Thomas Bovlan. To the Gentlemen signing the Requisition. TO JAMES O’NEILL, ESQ. WE, the undersigned, being duly sensible of the independence and industry which have hitherto characterised your public career, and having full confidence in your desire to promote the welfare of the Colony, beg respectfully that you will allow yourself to be put in nomination as a member for the Provincial Council for the City of Auckland. We arc, Sir, Your obedient servants George William Gorrie Andrew Hodge James George Joseph Low Samuel Brown George McYay Thos. Henderson John Kelly George M‘Ksnlcy Phillip Callan Patrick Harkin John Melwin Stephen E. Hughes Aitchinson Oliver David Sheehan George E. Yaile John MacDougall A. Black John Finlay Alex. Marshall John McKerran J, Logan Campbell John Porter Joseph Wright Richard Burras Wm. Harkin * Patrick Heath Duncan Campbell Thos. Leddra Wallis J. R. Yaile Samuel Yaile John Campbell. Fellow Citizens,— lt was not my intention to have occupied the position of a Candidate at this lime, but when invited by so much of the wealth and respectability of the City, I could not consistently decline ; indeed, I believe that my coming forward on this occasion will be in accordance with the wishes of a great majority of the Electors, I therefore feel very great pleasure in complying with your request, and, in announcing through you to the constituency, that I offer myself as a Candidate for their suffrages.—l thank you sincerely for the confidence you place in me, and should I be returned, you will find me a true supporter of every measure which may have a tendency to further the interests of this City and Province. 1 remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, •I. O’Neill. To the Gentlemen who signed the Requisition.
