Mr Astbury went to the poll s an Independent Liberal and Mr Wil:inson as an Independent Oppositionist, 'rior to the last election in December ist the boundaries of 'the district were nlarged by the inclusion of Manaia. (kaiawa, etc., and as a result over 1000 dditional votes were polled. • It is not xpected that the polling will be so eavy to-day, as there has been a good eal of. movement of population in the )istrict; also,, ow;ing to the shortness of ime, a number are not enrolled.
