“1872 Wakatipu by-election”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The 1872 Wakatipu by-election was a by-election held on 13 March 1872 in the {{NZ electorate link|Wakatipu}} electorate during the 5th New Zealand Parliament.

The by-election was caused by the resignation of the incumbent MP Charles Edward Haughton on 21 December 1871.^[1]

It appears that Mr J. Miller (a miner) was offered "a consideration" to stand down in favour of Mr James Macassey (or Maccassey, a Dunedin lawyer), and a legal argument involving the editor of the Lake Wakatip Mail developed, with talk of a "libel action" and whether if the money was to a local charity was it still "a consideration".
