A by-election for the seat of Uralla-Walcha in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly was held on 9 June 1900 because of the resignation of William Piddington,[1] ostensibly for private reasons and was a candidate for re-election.[2] It would appear that Piddington resigned due to insolvency as he was made bankrupt on his own petition on 25 May 1900.[3]
The by-election for Canterbury was held on the same day.
