The Liverpool East Toxteth by-election, 1902 was a parliamentary by-election held in England on 6 November 1902 for the House of Commons constituency of Liverpool East Toxteth.
Vacancy
[edit]The vacancy was caused by the resignation from the Commons of the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), Augustus Frederick Warr. His wife's long-term illness and an increasing workload at Westminster were conflicting with work as a solicitor in Liverpool,[1] so he took the Chiltern Hundreds on 27 October 1910.[2][3]
Warr had held the seat since being elected unopposed at a by-election in 1895.[4][5]
