Source: SMH 7 January 1870, p.5 col.1 including booth details. Names and report of nominations found from Dubbo Dispatch, 17 December 1869, p.2 col.2-5, a single issue of a paper of which very few 19th century issues exist. The Empire 7 January 1870, p.2 col.6 reported Lord on 403. Slight discrepancy in total votes not accounted for.
