1921 appointment
William Millard died in October 1921.[13] As there were no further unsuccessful Nationalist candidates, the Parliamentary Elections (Casual Vacancies) Act was amended to allow his replacement by another Nationalist supporter.[58] John Perkins was appointed taking his seat on 22 November 1921.[59]
1920 appointment
Gus James was appointed an Acting Judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales from 21 September 1920.[60] Between 1920 and 1927 the Legislative Assembly was elected using a form of proportional representation with multi-member seats and a single transferable vote (modified Hare-Clark). There was confusion at the time as to the process to be used to fill the vacancy. When George Beeby resigned on 9 August 1920, in accordance with the practice prior to 1920, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly issued a writ of election requiring a by-election to be conducted, however the Chief Electoral Officer said he couldn't do so under then law at the time and that a by-election would be contrary to the principle of proportional representation.[61] The vacancies were left unfilled until the Parliament passed the Parliamentary Elections (Casual Vacancies) Act on 10 December 1920,[62] so that casual vacancies were filled by the next unsuccessful candidate on the incumbent member's party list. William Millard was the only unsuccessful Nationalist candidate at the 1920 election and took his seat on 15 December 1920.[63]
