A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Newcastle on 27 May 1872.
The by-election was triggered because George Lloyd had been appointed Postmaster-General in the first Parkes ministry.
[1][2] Henry Parkes comfortably retained his seat at the East Sydney by-election held the week before,[3] while the five other ministers were re-elected unopposed.
