Notes

  1. ^ Also endorsed by Liberal Reform.
  2. ^ The New South Wales Election Results database is incomplete as it is based on the report of The Maitland Mercury of 11 July 1865 which did not include returns from 5 polling places, Bingera, Gideon's Inn, Mugundie, Wellbedunga and Yetman.[21]
  3. ^ The proposer intended to refer to Thomas Gordon Gibbons Dangar but was not aware he had more than one name and the nomination was recorded as being of his step father Thomas Dangar Sr, the former member for the Upper Hunter.[23]
