Source: SMH 24 December 1869, same issue has report of nominations and results, p.3 col.1-3, includes booths. Results are noted as missing two booths, with the Evening News 23 December, p.2, listing Box Ridge and Palmer's Oakey as the missing booths.
Corrections: Something very wrong with one of these numbers. The persons voting figure of 1181 may be a total vote rather than a persons voting. PP reports winning candidates as having received 522 and 469 votes. Further research required.
