Notes: Not sure why Piddington resigned and re-contested his seat. Party labels adopted here based on 1998 standings, as no clear indication was given in newspapers.
Source: Uralla Times, 13 June 1900, p.3 col.6, published declaration by Returning Officer, with booths published same day, p.2 col.2, though with slightly inaccuracy in totals.
Corrections: 1899 Statistical register reported 518 votes recorded at this by-election. This value does not match published results and has been ignored.
