St. Ives by-election, 1874
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The St. Ives by-election of 1874 was fought on 28 December 1874. The byelection was fought due to the death of the incumbent Conservative MP, Edward Gershour Davenport. It was won by the Conservative candidate Charles Tyringham Praed who received 617 votes against Liberal candidate Sir Francis Lycett's 552 votes.[1][2] During the election, the town held a holiday, with shops closed and ships not leaving harbor.[2]
Praed's election was later declared void, resulting in a further by-election in 1875, where Praed was returned again to the seat.[3]
