The by-election was caused by the resignation of the incumbent MP Arthur Beauchamp on 12 July 1867.[1] He had been elected on 14 March 1866 (see 1866 New Zealand general election), but did not have the private income then required to be a parliamentarian.[2]
The by-election was won by William Adams. As no other candidates were nominated, he was declared duly elected.[3]
