In a period of great financial stress for the Colony, this ministry covers the period from 23 October 1891 until 2 August 1894. Dibbs took over as Premier on the first occasion in October 1885 following resignation of the Hon. Alexander Stuart MLA due to ill-health, with his ministry lasting for 75 days. Dibbs served as Colonial Secretary in the Jennings ministry, before it too suffered budgetary pressures. It was duting this time that the party system was formed in New South Wales with Dibbs aligning himself with the Protectionist Party. His second term as Premier lasted for just 49 days.[1][2][3] Dibbs was succeeded by George Reid.[4][5]
