Aftermath

While Sydney Smith was declared elected, the by-election was declared void by the Elections and Qualifications Committee because of irregularities in the way the returning officer dealt with unused ballot papers and that people had voted who did not have an elector's right at the time the writ was issued. Thomas Taylor won the subsequent by-election.
