February 1922 North Down by-election

The North Down by-election of February 1922 was held on 21 February 1922. The by-election was held due to the appointment of the incumbent Ulster Unionist Party MP, Thomas Watters Brown, as a judge to the High Court of Justice in Northern Ireland. It was won unopposed by the Ulster Unionist Party candidate Henry Hughes Wilson.[1] Wilson was assassinated four months later, leading to the July 1922 North Down by-election.
