Notes

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]

  2. ^ a b c Gwydir MLA William Campbell resigned in May 1886. The resulting by-election on 10 June 1886 was won by Thomas Hassall.
