Notes

edit

There was no party system in New South Wales politics until 1887. Under the constitution, ministers were required to resign to recontest their seats in a by-election when appointed. These by-elections are only noted when the minister was defeated; in general, he was elected unopposed.[4]

  1. ^ a b c Newtown MLA Henry Copeland was required to resign and contest a ministerial by-election after being appointed Secretary for Public Works in January 1883. The resulting by-election on 13 January 1883 was won by Joseph Mitchell.
  2. ^ a b c East Sydney MLA John McElhone was elected to two seats, East Sydney and Upper Hunter. He resigned the seat of East Sydney and represented Upper Hunter. The resulting by-election on 23 January 1883 was won by Henry Copeland.
  3. ^ a b c Mudgee MLA Adolphus Taylor, notorious for his disruption of Assembly proceedings, made an inflammatory speech in February 1883 in which he was challenged by Upper Hunter MLA John McElhone to resign and both would contest Taylor's seat of Mudgee. The challenge was accepted and both resigned. Taylor received 67% of the votes, defeating McElhone in the Mudgee by-election on 6 March 1883. McElhone had also been nominated for the Upper Hunter by-election, held on the same day, which saw him returned to his seat.[6]
  4. ^ a b c Glebe MLA George Allen resigned in August 1883 to take a voyage to England. The resulting by-election was won by Michael Chapman on 26 August 1883.
  5. ^ a b Bathurst MLA Francis Suttor was declared to have a position of profit under the crown in January 1884. Having resolved this he was unopposed at the resulting by-election on 11 February 1884.
  6. ^ a b c East Sydney MLA George Reid was declared to have a position of profit under the crown in January 1884. The resulting by-election on 29 February 1884 was won by Sydney Burdekin.
