The Garrison Hall was the main polling booth, there were in addition 13 others, from which the returns came in promptly, the announcement of the result being marie by the returning officer (Mr G. Esther) about an hour and a-quar-ter after the poll closed. The candidates were: William Thomas M'Farlane, John Edward MacManus, James J. Marlow. William Farquharson, John Henry Hancock, Robert Valpy Fulton, and John Carroll. The voting resulted in the return of the three gentlemen retiring, the voting being as follows; Fulton 1295 Marlow 1285 M'Farlane 1030 Farquharson 657 Hancock 647 MacManus 521 Carroll 443
