Source: The Golden Age (Queanbeyan) 15 December pp.2-4 provides a full report of nominations as well as the result. Same figures published in Empire, 17 December 1860, p.4 col.5. Slightly higher totals, 290 / 182 were reported in the Goulburn Herald 15 December, p.2 col.2, sourced from a 'Mr Peter McAlister', which were corrected with the same figures as the Golden Age, 19 December, p.2 col.4-5. However, these earlier incorrect totals were picked up and re-published by the Illawarra Mercury, 25 December, p.2 col.2 and SMH 21 December, p.4 col.6.
