CHRISTCHURCH. Friday.
Mr Rolleston addressed his constituents last night. He much regretted hearing that Mr Vogel intended 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. The speaker stated that he considered Mr Vogel's threat of dissolution unconstitutional, and repeated the chief arguments used against the abolition resolution, saying that the time was inopportune, and that the people ought to be consulted. A unanimous vote of thanks was passed by the meeting to Mr Rolleston.
