1862 Orange colonial by-election
By-election in New South Wales, Australia
A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Orange on 28 June 1862 because John Peisley resigned.[1] Piesley had rarely attended the Legislative Assembly and a public meeting in Orange called on him to attend to his parliamentary duties or resign.[2] Piesley's letter of resignation stated that he had been unable to attend to his parliamentary duties due to the pressure of business.[3]
