Notes

There was no party system in New South Wales politics until 1887. Under the constitution, ministers were required to resign to recontest their seats in a by-election when appointed. These by-elections are only noted when the minister was defeated; in general, he was elected unopposed. ^[4]

1. Cumberland (North Riding) MLA Henry Parkes resigned on 28 August 1858 due to financial difficulties. The resulting by-election on 20 September 1858 was won by John Plunkett.
2. New England and Macleay MLA Abram Moriarty resigned on 13 October 1858. The resulting by-election on 14 December 1858 was won by James Hart.
