    ¶ Previously an alderman.

### Party strength 1898–1907

The strength of the parties on the council after each election was as follows:

| Party | Councillors 1898 | Aldermen 1898 | Total 1898 | Councillors 1901 | Aldermen 1901 | Total 1901 | Councillors 1904 | Aldermen 1904 | Total 1904 |
| - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| Moderate | 48 | 8 | 56 | 32 | 6 | 38 | 35 | 6 | 41 |
| Progressive | 70 | 10 | 80 | 86 | 12 | 98 | 82 | 13 | 95 |
| Labour | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Independents | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |

## County aldermen 1889–1913

In addition to the 118 councillors the council consisted of 19 county aldermen. Aldermen were elected by the council, and served a six-year term. Half of the aldermanic bench (nine or ten aldermen) were elected every three years following the tri-ennial council election. In the first election of aldermen in February 1889, ten of the nineteen chosen had three-year terms, retiring in 1892.

## Councillors 1907–1919

In 1906 the Moderate grouping was reorganised as the Municipal Reform Party and as such gained a majority and control of the Council in the 1907 elections. Labour Party councillors were also elected for the first time independent of the Progressive Party in 1910. The elections due to be held in 1916 were postponed due to the First World War, and councillors elected in 1913 remained in office until 1919. The Elections and Registration Act 1915 gave the council the power to co-opt members to fill casual vacancies.

The first women who could clearly serve as members were elected as councillors (and as an alderman) in 1910 (Henrietta Adler, Susan Lawrence and Lady St Helier). Prior to the Qualification of Women (County and Borough Councils) Act 1907, the position was in some respects equivocal. Lady Sandhurst had been elected to the Council in 1889, but her election was challenged by petition, and the Court of Appeal ruled that a woman was ineligible for election. Jane Cobden had, however, also been elected in 1889, and Emma Cons had been elected as an alderman in 1889; neither of their elections was challenged within the requisite time limit. The Court of Appeal subsequently held, however, following Lady Sandhurst's case, that any woman who cast a vote would be voting whilst disqualified from holding office, and so liable to a financial penalty for having voted.
