Berwick-upon-Tweed by-election, 1880
In March 1880 the British Liberal Party bounced back from earlier losses to gain both seats, but when their representative Henry Strutt succeeded to the peerage a few months later, they were unable to retain the second seat. Their candidate, John McLaren, was defeated by only two votes by the Conservative Milne Home. After scrutiny it was found that scale of the Conservative victory was actually three votes rather than two.
