A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Northumberland on 18 January 1882 because of the resignation of William Turner. Members of parliament were unpaid at the time. Turner was paid by a subscription, said to be £0.08 per member of the Reform League. Subscriptions however proved to be inadequate to support him and he resigned from parliament.
