A by-election for the seat of Singleton in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly was held on 14 August 1894 because Albert Gould (Free Trade ) had been appointed Minister for Justice in the Reid ministry .[1] [2] Such ministerial by-elections were usually uncontested and four ministers were re-elected unopposed, James Brunker (East Maitland ), Joseph Carruthers (St George ), Jacob Garrard (Sherbrooke ) and James Young (The Manning ). A poll was required in Bathurst (Sydney Smith ), Hartley (Joseph Cook ), Singleton and Sydney-King (George Reid ) however all were comfortably re-elected.[3]
