The Jarrow by-election of 1907 was held on 4 July 1907.

Vacancy

The by-election was held due to the death of the incumbent Liberal MP, Charles Palmer.^[1]

Electoral history

At the 1906 general election Palmer had had a straight fight with Labour;

Candidates

The sitting Liberal MP, the 84-year-old Sir Charles Palmer, had announced that he did not intend to stand for Parliament at the next election and the local Liberals had already selected Spencer Leigh Hughes as his replacement.^[2] Hughes’ opportunity to get into Parliament came quickly as Sir Charles died on 4 June 1907 thus causing a by-election at which Hughes was adopted as Liberal candidate. Hughes faced, Labour, Conservative and Irish Parliamentary Party opponents.^[3]

Aftermath

For Curran, it was a short-lived triumph as he was unseated by another Liberal at the following General Election in January 1910. Rose-Innes did not stand for parliament again. In 1909 Hughes was the unsuccessful Liberal candidate at the Bermondsey by-election, 1909. The Irish Nationalists never again ran a candidate in Jarrow.
