The 1899 Bow and Bromley by-election was held on 27 October 1899 following the resignation of the incumbent Conservative MP, Lionel Holland due to ill health.
[1] Holland vacated his Parliamentary seat by being appointed Steward of the Manor of Northstead on 16 October 1899.
[2] The seat was retained by the Conservative candidate Walter Guthrie.
Contemporary sources state that the by-election was fought on the issue of the Second Boer War which had broken out earlier that month, with Guthrie supporting the Government and Spender opposing the war.
