Notes: Sitting MP Alexander Hamilton did not re-contest.
Source: Alpine Pioneer, report of nominations, 11 December 1860, p.3 col.2, with results 18 December, p.4 col.3 including booths. Goulburn Herald, results including booths, 19 December, p.2 col.3. It does not reports these figures as the DOP but implies this was the final result, as does Illawarra Mercury, 21 December, p. 2, col. 3.
Corrections: The Statistical Register report 398 votes, but this does not match any of the published results and has been ignored.
