Horsham by-election, 1875
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Horsham by-election of 1875 was fought on 17 December 1875. The byelection was fought due to the resignation of the incumbent Conservative MP, William Vesey-FitzGerald, who became Chief Charity Commissioner for England and Wales.[1] It was won by the Liberal candidate Robert Henry Hurst (junior).[2] who had previously been MP for the seat but was defeated at the previous General Election.
This election was declared void and Hurst did not stand in the by-election in 1876.
