This led to the despatch of the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition in August 1860.[3] In August 1861[1] Kyte stood for East Melbourne as a candidate for the Victorian Legislative Assembly, and defeated Edward Langton,[1] who in February 1866 defeated him in a contest for the same constituency.[3] Kyte represented Richmond from January 1867 to December 1867.[1] Kyte died in Carlton, Victoria on 16 November 1868, survived by his wife, a son and two daughters.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite re-member |mid=498 |name=Kyte, Ambrose Henry Spencer}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Kyte, Ambrose Henry Spencer}}2. ^1 2 3 {{Australian Dictionary of Biography |first=Geoff |last=Browne |title=Kyte, Ambrose Henry Spencer (1822–1868) |id2=kyte-ambrose-henry-spencer-13036 |accessdate=5 January 2014}} 3. ^1 {{cite Australasia|King, Hon.
