A by-election was held for the
New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of
The Tumut on 1 November 1860 because the
by-election in May 1860 was declared void by the Election and Qualifications Committee.
Daniel Deniehy was declared elected, however he was also elected at the
East Macquarie by-election held on the same day.[1][2] Deniehy took his seat as the member for East Macquarie and doesn't appear in the records kept by the Legislative Assembly as a member for Tumut.[3][4]
