October 29 1874 (PE)

Summary

Notes

• Note: In the district of 1st Queens, John Balderston re-contested his seat in the Legislative Council, his 8-year term having expired. Come nomination day he was the only candidate to be officially put forward, and therefore took the seat back by acclamation.
• Citation: At the time of the Legislative Council elections in October 1874, the second seat in 1st Queens was also up for grabs (Donald Montgomery had resigned it). The ensuing contest was a partial election, in order to determine who would finish off the remaining four years in Montgomery’s term. By nomination day, it was a race between Arthur McEwen and Lawrence Tremain; however, after the day’s proceedings it was discovered that Tremain’s seconder did not qualify as a Legislative Council elector, which nullified the nomination. As a result, MacEwen took the seat by acclamation.
• Note: No results were published for the contest between Simon Bulger and John C. Underhay in 1st Kings; however, Bulger apparently won by a large majority.
