Source: SMH, 12 July, p. 4, col. 2 prints these figures, but states that there are more results to come. Armidale Express (13 August, p. 2, col. 3) puts Lord into its list of winning candidates with 113 votes. DOP results are not reported in the city papers or the Bathurst Free Press. NSW Statistical Register (1850-59) records 181 votes as having been recorded, which suggests this is not a final result.
