THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

The names of New Constituencies and Members are in italics.

The phrase " first elected" refers to the particular constituency in question, and not to the Member's first election to the House of Commons. In some cases previous elections are referred to, but merely where they are necessary to help to a general view of the character of the now House of Commons.

Where the Constituency has lost a Member an asterisk (5) is placed against the name.

We give the date of birth and where educated in those eases where the facts have been in any way recorded, or where we have been able to obtain them, but there are oases in which it has been impossible to do so with so many candidates in the field. We are aware also that there must be occasional errors, even in those cases for the facts of which there is published and generally reliable authority, for there are cases in which the authorities differ. Where we have found It impossible to strike the balance in favour of any one version of the same fact, we have omitted the figures.
