1899 Wellington by-election Turnout 77.26%
The 25 July 1899 City of Wellington by-election was caused by the resignation of incumbent MP John Hutcheson over the Marine Scandal.[1] Hutcheson, along with MP Frederick Pirani had accused Premier Richard Seddon and Minister of Marine William Hall-Jones amongst others, of using influence to obtain Mariners certificates for unqualified candidates in contravention of the recent Shipping and Seamen's Act.[2] When the Marine Commission report [3] declared that the charges were unfounded Hutcheson resigned in order to exonerate himself by means of a by-election win.
