The 1871 Truro by-election was held on 13 September 1871. The byelection was fought when the incumbent Liberal MP, John Cranch Walker Vivian, resigned to become Permanent Under-Secretary of State for War. It was won by the Conservative candidate James McGarel-Hogg.[1] The Conservatives retained their gain at the 1874 UK general election.
