Massey (Leader of tlie Opposition) apparently did not meet with the approval of one person in the audience,. who voiced his disagreement by various interjections.

He went on to tell the story of the man who had in his dreams visited the infernal regions, and 'had seen in one corner a group of shades upon whom the fife and brimstone ‘had no apparent effect. On inquiry he was informed that they were New Zealand settlers who had voted for the Government at last election and who- were too green to -burn. The allegorical flight was not very satisfying to the interrupter, who demanded something,more than dreams and visions.
