Elections

Elections in the 1830s

North's death caused a by-election.

• Stooks Smith gives the poll as 237 for O'Dwyer and 12 for Ball, but Walker's numbers have been used above.

On petition, O'Dwyer was unseated for "want of qualification", causing a by-election.

• Stooks Smith gives the poll as 313 for O'Dwyer and 130 for Plunkett but Walker's figures have been used here. On petition, O'Dwyer's election was declared void and Plunkett was declared elected, on 21 June 1835.

Elections in the 1860s

Polling for the 1868 election was marred by riots at or outside the polling house, during which people were fired upon by the military, and one man was seriously injured. Although this was later not shown to have affected the result significantly, on petition, Whitworth was unseated for separate findings of an "organised system of intimidation and force was established by Mr. Whitworth and his friends and agents."

Elections in the 1880s

O'Leary's death caused a by-election.
