| 释义 |
The Leominster by-election was a by-election held on 15-16 February 1876 for the British House of Commons constituency of Leominster in Herefordshire. The by-election was caused by the resignation on 8 February 1875 of the serving Conservative Party MP, Richard Arkwright.[1] After a close-fought campaign, the result was a gain for the Liberal candidate, Thomas Blake, with a majority of 85 over the Conservative, Charles Spencer Bateman Hanbury Kincaid-Lennox,[2] brother of Lord Bateman. This came as something of a surprise as no Liberal had been elected to the constituency for the previous 25 years.[2] Votes{{Election box begin | title=Leominster by-election, 1876[2]}}{{Election box candidate with party link||party = Liberal Party (UK) |candidate = Thomas Blake |votes = 434 |percentage = 55.4 |change = }}{{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Conservative Party (UK) |candidate = Charles Spencer Bateman Hanbury Kincaid-Lennox |votes = 349 |percentage = 44.6 |change = }}{{Election box majority| |votes = 85 |percentage = 10.9 |change = }}{{Election box turnout| |votes = 783 |percentage = 84.3 |change = }}{{Election box gain with party link| |winner = Liberal Party (UK) |loser = Conservative Party (UK) |swing = }}{{Election box end}} References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons/lib/research/briefings/snpc-04731.pdf |title=Appointments to the Chiltern Hundreds and Manor of Northstead Stewardships since 1850 |author=Department of Information Services |publisher=House of Commons Library |date=9 June 2009 |accessdate=30 November 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110206041753/http://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons/lib/research/briefings/snpc-04731.pdf |archivedate=February 6, 2011 }} 2. ^1 2 {{cite book |last=Craig |first=F.
