Note that the losing candidate for Georgetown and Royalty, Roderick MacAulay, petitioned the Prince Edward Island House of Assembly to complain about an undue election. Specifically, Roderick MacAulay claimed that a number of people had voted in the Georgetown / Georgetown Royalty electoral district who were not entitled to vote. As a result, the colonial government held a review of the eligibility of some of the voters. This review took place at the Georgetown courthouse starting on March 25, 1859. As a result of this review, Roderick MacAulay was declared elected by the House of Assembly in place of Andrew A. MacDonald on April 27, 1859. Roderick MacAulay took his seat in the House of Assembly the following day.

Famous quotes containing the word members:
“I have more in common with a Mexican man than with a white woman.... This opinion ... chagrins women who sincerely believe our female physiology unequivocally binds all women throughout the world, despite the compounded social prejudices that daily affect us all in different ways. Although women everywhere experience life differently from men everywhere, white women are members of a race that has proclaimed itself globally superior for hundreds of years.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)
“I esteem it the happiness of this country that its settlers, whilst they were exploring their granted and natural rights and determining the power of the magistrate, were united by personal affection. Members of a church before whose searching covenant all rank was abolished, they stood in awe of each other, as religious men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What’s the greatest enemy of Christianity to-day? Frozen meat. In the past only members of the upper classes were thoroughly sceptical, despairing, negative. Why? Among other reasons, because they were the only people who could afford to eat too much meat. Now there’s cheap Canterbury lamb and Argentine chilled beef. Even the poor can afford to poison themselves into complete scepticism and despair.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
