However,the results of the initial polling were made public before the poll in Cleveland,showing George Edmondstone and William Brookes in the lead with Warry coming third in this two-member electors. This allowed Warry supporters to canvass votes in Cleveland putting Warry into second place and hence elected. [6] Given these irregularities in the conduct of the election,Brookes challenged the result and the election was declared void,terminating Warry's political tenure in East Moreton on 26 August 1863.

[12] On 3 August 1864,the election was declared null and void. [13] A second election was called on 13 August 1864,in which William Brookes won handsomely with Warry coming third and last. [14] [15]
