James Hart (1825–1873) was a politician in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.
Early life
Hart was born in Ireland in 1825. He was son of William Hart and Mary Cahill. Hart arrived in New South Wales in 1841. He was admitted as a solicitor in 1853. He practised in Sydney and was part owner of a practice.[1]
Politics
Hart began his career in politics in 1858 when Abram Moriarty resigned from the seat of New England and Macleay in the colony's north. He was elected unopposed.[2] At the 1859 election, Hart was re-elected to the parliament as the member for the newly form seat of New England. He won the election by a mere three votes.[3] At the 1860 election, Hart won the election for the seat of Bathurst in the colony's west on 6 December 1860.[4] As such, he withdrew from the New England contest which was held on 24 December.[5] At the following election in 1864–65, Hart changed seats again when he elected to the multi-member electorate of East Sydney.[6] He did not recontest the 1869–70 election but Hart re-entered the parilament in 1870 after winning the Monaro by-election caused by the death of Daniel Egan.[7] Hart retired from parliament in February 1872.
Personal life
Hart married Harriet Dawson on 7 September 1843.[1]
Death
Hart died in Illalong, New South Wales on 26 June 1873.[1]
