Mr. Bolleston addressed his constituents for two hours last night. He much regretted hearing of Mr. Vogel leaving for England at a time when his presence here was absolutely necessary. He pointed out that the contributions to the revenue of the colony by Canterbury and Otago nearly equalled the contributions of the rest of the colony. He considered Mr. Vogel's threat of dissolution unconstitutional, and repeated the chief arguments used against the abolition resolution, saying the time was inopportune and the people should have been consulted. A unanimous vote of confidence was passed.
