1862 Shoalhaven colonial by-election
A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Shoalhaven in January 1861 because of the resignation of John Garrett.[1] The by-election allowed John Robertson to return to the Legislative Assembly after the Legislative Council had passed the Robertson Land Acts, which would open up the free selection of Crown land.[2][3]
