Osgoldcross by-election, 1899
The Osgoldcross by-election, 1899 was a parliamentary by-election for the House of Commons constituency of Osgoldcross in the West Riding of Yorkshire held on 5 July 1899.
==Vacancy==
The by-election was caused by the resignation of the sitting Liberal MP, Sir John Austin. 〔The Times, 17 June 1899 p13〕 Austin had been MP for Osgoldcross since 1886 but he found himself in dispute with his constituency Liberal Association when he voted against certain measures in Parliament which were supported by the Liberal Party nationally. Some of these issues were on religious questions and Sir John Austin was a Roman Catholic. In some quarters the dispute with Sir John Austin was seen as an attack on him because of his religion, although he had a record of getting on well with his traditionally nonconformist constituency. 〔The Times, 30 June 1899 p10〕 However one of the issues that Austin championed was opposing the power of local authorities to impose a veto on liquor sales and this brought him into conflict with many of his pro-temperance chapel Liberals. A meeting of the Osgoldcoss Liberal Association was held at Pontefract on 15 June 1899 and a vote of no confidence in Austin was passed. A further motion of regret at his actions was also passed but, no doubt in an effort to heal the breach between MP and local party, it was declared that Austin had broken no pledges made in his election addresses. 〔The Times, 17 June 1899 p13〕
