A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Orange on 30 August 1877. The by-election was triggered because Edward Combes had been appointed Secretary for Public Works in the fourth Robertson ministry. [1] [2] Such ministerial by-elections were usually uncontested; however on this occasion, only Thomas Garrett ( Camden) and Ezekiel Baker ( Goldfields South) were unopposed. While the other ministers, John Robertson ( West Sydney), John Davies ( East Sydney), John Lackey, and William Long (both Central Cumberland) were opposed, all were re-elected. [3]
