Parsons received 712 votes; Madden received 1,376 and was therefore elected. John Thomas Ball, a former Lord Chancellor of Ireland, was on Madden's support committee and seconded his nomination on 7 July. At the time, Ball was one of the Lords Justices of Ireland deputising for Charles Vane-Tempest-Stewart, 6th Marquess of Londonderry, the absent Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Members of the irish Parliamentary Party complained in the Commons that Ball's action was inappropriate.
