GENTLEMEN,— In consequence of the very large amount of misapprehension that exists relative to my absence from the House of Assembly at the present time, I think it due to myself and to you that explanation should be given. What I have to offer is simply that at the first meeting of the General Assembly I was precluded from attending by circumstances over which I had no control—a short illness having interfered with my preparations for departure, I was compelled to adjourn it for a time, which I did with little hesitation, having reason to believe that I would be present before anything of importance to this district or the colony could come on for discussion; and now, althrough unexpectedly and most Vexatiously delayed by a break in the regular communication with Wellington, via Wang&nui, I still hope to be in my place before important measures are discussed. Had I resigned my seat in consequence of my being thus prevented from attending the early part of the session, I should have done that which would, according to my judgment, be unwarrantable. I have to attend to the business of my constituency* but also to that which my private engagements entail. I hope without sacrificing one to the other to do my duty to each, and it will be found when I can no longer do so satisfactorily that I will speedily, and I hope honorably, lighten my burthen. I am,•Gentlemen, ; Tours faithfully, E. J. O'CONOR.
