New Zealand by-election From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1867 Avon by-election was a by-election held on 11 March 1867 during the 4th New Zealand Parliament in the Christchurch electorate of Avon.
The by-election was caused by the resignation of the incumbent MP Crosbie Ward.[1]
The by-election was won by William Reeves, the business partner of Ward.[2] As there were no other candidates, he was declared elected unopposed.[3]
Ward died in November 1867[1] and in May 1868, Reeves resigned as he was unable to stay away from his business for the upcoming 1868 parliamentary session in Wellington.[2] This triggered the 1868 Avon by-election.
