Notes: Sitting MP G W Lord did not contest after accepting appointment to the Legislative Council. Henry Parkes and John Robertson had already been elected for other seats and are not shown as sitting members. The total votes published in the Statistical Register clearly includes the informal votes. Forlonge withdrew on the hustings but still appeared on the ballot paper.
