The County Carlow by-election, 1887 was a parliamentary by-election held for the United Kingdom House of Commons constituency of County Carlow on 24 August 1887. It arose as a result of the death of the sitting member, John Aloysius Blake on 22 May. 87-year old James Patrick Mahon, who had formerly sat in Parliament for the constituencies of Clare and Ennis, was nominated as an Irish Nationalist. No other candidate being nominated, Mahon was elected unopposed.[1]
