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.
3. East Camden MLA Robert Owen resigned on 3 March 1859 to take a seat on a District Court. The resulting by-election on 21 March 1859 was won by John Hargrave.
4. By-elections in chronological order were Cumberland North,^[a] New England and Macleay,^[b] and East Camden.^[c]
