Candidacy notes

Candidacy : 

At the time of the Legislative Council elections in October 1874, the second seat in 1st Queens was also up for grabs after Donald Montgomery had resigned it.  The ensuing contest was a partial election, in order to determine who would finish off the remaining four years in Montgomery’s term.  By nomination day, it was a race between Arthur McEwen and Lawrence Tremain; however, after the day’s proceedings it was discovered that Tremain’s seconder did not qualify as a Legislative Council elector, which nullified the nomination.  As a result, MacEwen took the seat by acclamation.
