Forlonge, William (Elected) Elected unopposed
Notes: Sitting MP Charles Cowper Jnr stated (SMH 25 November 1864, p.2 col.3) that his health prevented him re-contesting Orange, and that he would not contest any electorate. Yet he was to nominate in Tumut on 8 December, returning to his old seat and defeating Premier James Martin.
