For “President of the Queensland Legislative Council” FROM 27 AUG 1860 TO 23 MAR 1879 of Maurice Charles O'Connell

| office = [[President of the Queensland Legislative Council|President of the<br />Queensland Legislative Council]] | term_start = 27 August 1860 | term_end = 23 March 1879 | predecessor = [[Charles Nicholson|Sir Charles Nicholson]] | successor = [[Joshua Peter Bell|Sir Joshua Peter Bell]]

Transcribed from the article wikitext. Corroborated by the ADB: 'When Sir Charles Nicholson resigned in August 1860 O'Connell became president of the council. He held the post until 1879 and acted ex officio as deputy to the governor four times.' The DNB entry instead dates the start to 1861; two of the three sources give August 1860, which is used here.
