Source: Report of nominations, SMH 29 December 1874, p.3 col.4-5, results from SMH 5 January 1875, p.5 col.4. Totals appear low but were the same as the final report in the Albury Banner, 2 January 1875, p.14 col.4, which included full booth results.
Corrections: Parliamentary papers reported 540 voters excluding informals, while the Statistical Register reported 554 persons voting. It has been presumed the difference is 14 informal votes added to this record.
