1895 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election

The 1895 Liverpool East Toxteth by-election was a parliamentary by-election held in England on 29 November 1895 for the British House of Commons constituency of Liverpool East Toxteth.

[1][2] His previous title was as a Hereditary Baron of the Austrian Empire, but his British peerage gave him a seat in the House of Lords, and automatically disqualified him from the Commons.

The Conservatives selected as their candidate Augustus Frederick Warr, a local solicitor[3] working in the field of commercial law.

[4] His father, who died later that year, had been the vicar of St Saviour's Church in Liverpool.

[6] However, at the close of nominations on Friday, Warr was the only candidate, so he was returned unopposed without any need for a vote.
