Source: Result declared SMH 25 November 1880, but does not mention total for candidates, merely total votes informals and margins, allowing result to be inferred. Totals were then published in SMH election summary, 8 December, p.3 col.5. Totals in Tenterfield Independent are not complete. It has been presumed that W B Christie reported in local newspapers was William Bede Christie.
