Cause Category: Resignation - Other
Notes: Caused by the resignation of CH Walsh, who stated that with Cowper's stacking of the Legislative Council to pass land and Council reform legislation, the tasks he had set himself when first nominating for parliament had now been achieved. (Goulburn Herald, 22 May 1861, p.3 col.5.)
