Notes: Sitting MP A T Kerr did not re-contest.
Source: SMH 8 December 1882, p.5 col.1. Australian Town and Country Journal had basically the same figures, 9 December, p.1118 col.3, but with Dalton on 975. SMH totals also in Bathurst Times, 8 December 1882.
Corrections: The Statistical Register reports 841 persons casting formal votes, but this cannot be correct given the number of votes recorded.
