The 1872 Heathcote by-election was a by-election for the electorate of
Heathcote during the
5th New Zealand Parliament, and resulted when the previous incumbent
John Hall resigned.
The nomination meeting was held at the Road Board office in Ferry Road.[4]
There was no vote as Wilson was the only candidate, and he was declared elected when the writs closed for candidates on 30 July. Wilson had previously been in Parliament for the seat of
Coleridge, but had retired in 1870 due to an "unfortunate accident".
