Source: Full report of nominations, Bathurst Times 22 November 1880, p.6 col.1-5, with a brief report in SMH 25 November 1880, p.3 col.3. The lack of a polling clerk at Vittoria deferred the poll at that booth until 29 November, so the result was not published until SMH 9 December, p.3 col.3. Note that this report reproduced the numbers as shown here, with the reported persons voting not matching the total of formal and informal votes. Daily Telegraph reported a majority of 57 votes, 8 December, p.5 col.3. Same totals as SMH published in Bathurst Times, 11 December, p.6 col.1-2 including booth details.
