Source: Report of nominations, 28 December 1864, p.2 col.1-2, crediting the Western Examiner. Results from SMH 23 December, p.5 col.1 and 26 December, p.4 col.6 , as well as Maitland Mercury, 27 December, p.2 col.3. The SMH election summary 21 January appears to be in error by publishing Samuel with only 245 votes.
