Oamaru by-election, 1885
The Oamaru by-election 1885 was a by-election held in the electorate during the 9th New Zealand Parliament, on 20 May 1885. The by-election was caused by the resignation of the incumbent, Samuel Shrimski, who was appointed to the Legislative Council, and was won by Thomas William Hislop.
==Background==
For the 1876 election, became a two-member electorate. Four candidates put their names forward. Steward and Joseph O'Meagher contested the election as abolitionists (i.e. they were in favour of abolishing the provincial government), while Thomas William Hislop and Shrimski were provincialists (i.e. they favoured the retention of provincial government). The provincialists won the election by quite some margin, and both became members of parliament for the first time. Hislop and Shrimski were both confirmed in the , but Hislop resigned on 28 April 1880 "for private reasons". From onwards, Waitaki became a single-member constituency again, and Shrimski won the re-constituted electorate.
In the 1884 general election, Shrimski was challenged by Viscount Reidhaven (who later became the Earl of Seafield when he succeeded his father). Shrimski resigned on 28 March 1885 and was appointed to the Legislative Council on 15 May 1885. Shrimski was one of an unprecedented nine appointments made by the Stout–Vogel Ministry in 1885, which inflated the council's membership to 54. Three other appointments also caused by-elections in the Tauranga, Waimea, and Southern Maori electorates.
