Dublin University by-election, 1887
The Dublin University, by-election, 1887 was a parliamentary by-election held for the United Kingdom House of Commons constituency of Dublin University on 12 July 1887. It resulted from the resignation of Hugh Holmes, one of the members in this two-seat constituency, following his appointment as a high court judge. Two candidates were nominated: Richard Clere Parsons, an engineer and third son of the Earl of Rosse,[1] and Dodgson Hamilton Madden, a lawyer. Parsons received 436 votes; Madden received 958 and was therefore elected.[2]
