Hart, James (Elected)
Elected unopposed
Cause Category: Resignation - Other
Notes: Caused by the resignation (13 Oct) of AO Moriarty. He published a letter to his constituents SMH 16 October, p.2 col.1, stating his reasons for resigning, which appear to be related to the financial difficulty of trying to service such a far distant electorate.
Source: SMH, 3 December 1858, p. 3, col. 1, declared elected on the close of nominations.
