The 1874 Franklin by-election was a by-election held on 20 May 1878 in the Franklin electorate during the 6th New Zealand Parliament.
The by-election was caused by the resignation of the incumbent MP Hugh Lusk on 16 April 1878.[1]
At the nomination meeting, Richard Hobbs of Pokeno was put forward. As there were no other nominations, he was declared duly elected.[2][3]
