West Cavan by-election, 1895
The West Cavan by-election, 1895 was a parliamentary by-election held for the United Kingdom House of Commons constituency of West Cavan on 22 August 1895.[1] The sitting member, Edmund Vesey Knox of the Irish National Federation, who had sat for the constituency since a by-election in 1890, had been re-elected in the general election of 1895. However, having been elected also for the constituency of Londonderry City, he chose to sit for that constituency instead.[2] The West Cavan seat thus became vacant, and in the ensuing by-election, another Irish National Federation candidate, James Patrick Farrell, was elected unopposed.[3][4]
