The Chaplaincy of St. John’s Deritend: The polling of the householders of the hamlets of Deritend and Bordesley for the election of a chaplain for St. John’s Deritend, took place on Saturday, the proceedings formed an exciting finish to the somewhat protracted struggles. … (detailed description of vote) … At six o’clock the poll closed, and the polling books from the out-stations were conveyed to the schoolroom in Chapel House Street. Some delay occurred owing to the fact that the candidates, in order to keep down expenses, had declined to allow the presiding offices cabs. The votes were counted under the superintendence of Alderman Johnson, Mr. Pinsent, and Mr. Ball, while Mr. C. A. Harrison and Mr. J. W. Barratt, accountants, acted as assessors to check the enumeration. … The Rev. J O. West proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Alderman Johnson for the courteous and kindly way in which he had conducted the election, and the impartiality with which he had acted. He should also like to associate Mr. Pinsent and Mr. Ball in the resolution. It must have cost all three gentlemen some considerable time and thought to arrange the matter so satisfactorily. … (Majority for West, 1,034) …

St. John’s Chaplaincy, Deritend: The Nominations: The nomination of candidates for the chaplaincy of St. John’s Chapel, Deritend, vacant by the resignation of the Rev. W. C. Badger, took place yesterday morning in the schools adjoining the chapel in Chapel House Street, at a public meeting of the parishioners, in whom the right of patronage is vested. The three candidates who had been before the constituency for some weeks had previously agreed through their legal representatives that the proceedings at the nominations should be as formal as possible; but the parishioners were present in great force; the majority support the candidate their choice, and many, no doubt, anticipation of a disturbance. … … About five minutes to ten the Rev. Llewellyn Davies entered the room with his solicitor (Mr. E. Rowlands), Messrs. T. H. Aston, C. C. Budd, A. Wood, J. H. Trewolla, Reeves, and G. Burrows, and was greeted with cheer by his supporters. Then followed Mr. R. A. Pinsent, the solicitor to the trustees St. John’s; Mr. C. A. Harrison, the secretary to the trustees; and Alderman Johnson, the returning-officer. Alderman Johnson was heartily welcomed, and then a few moments were once again spent in cheering and groaning the candidates. … … The Chairman asked if any inhabitant had any other candidate to propose, and there being no response he proceeded to take a show of hands, Mr. C. A. Harrison and Mr. R. A. Pinsent assisted the counting of the votes, but no instance were the actual numbers declared. The show of hands was first taken for the Rev. L. H. Davies, and nineteen voted for him. When those in favour of the Rev. C. J. Sneath were asked to vote, there was a cry, “Now, then, one hand for the boozers” a remark which elicited a roar of laughter, and a rejoinder that the author deserved to be thrown out of the room. For Mr. Sneath eighty voted. As soon as the Rev. J. O. West’s name was called the Chairman there was a tremendous shout, and up went the hands. It was at once apparent that Mr. West had a great majority, and the exultation of his friends was remarkably conspicuous … There was no necessity to count, and Mr. Harrison and Mr. Pinsent estimated the number of votes for Mr. West at 150. … (continues) …
