A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Paddington on 24 May 1919 because of the resignation of John Osborne (Labor) who had accepted an appointment to the Metropolitan Meat Industry Board.[1] The board was responsible for the control and maintenance of abattoirs, cattle sale yards, meat markets, and slaughterhouses in the greater Sydney region.[2] H. V. Evatt described the appointment as intended to deprive Labor of one of its better political organisers ahead of the 1920 election.[3][4]
