3 On 4 January 1895, William Paterson resigned from the seat of Murray, and at the resulting by-election on 12 January 1895, William James George was elected to fill the vacancy.
4 In April 1895, William Silas Pearse resigned from the seat of North Fremantle, and at the resulting byelection on 22 May 1895, Matthew Moss was elected to fill the vacancy.
