Source: Maitland Mercury, report of nominations, 15 December 1864, pp.2-3, results 20 December, p.2 col.4 including booths. Mercury totals used as they match the Statistical Register. SMH report of nominations, 16 December 1864, p.2 col.2-4, results SMH 22 December, p.4 col.6, though figures vary slightly from Mercury. SMH uses different totals in its election summary, 21 December, pp. 6-7, seemingly from the same source as the Empire, 17 December, p.5 col.1.
