The Deritend Election: The preparations for the decision of the clerical contest in Deritend seem to be moving forward with more official directness than has previously been the case. Mr. G. T. Smith, who is acting legal adviser to Mr. Sneath, this morning received the following communication from the Bishop of Worcester, who seems much exercised in his mind by reason of the scandal resulting from the strife: “Hartlebury, Kidderminster, May 6, 1889. Dear Sir, — The Bishop of Norwich informs that the Rev. W. C. Badger was instituted by him to the cure of Bressingham on Saturday last. The chaplaincy of St. John’s has therefore become vacant by virtue of the Act 13, 14 Vic., cap. 98, secs. 3 and 7. — Yours faithfully, H. Worcester: Mr. G. T. Smith.” The solicitors of the trustees have also moved in the matter. Mr. Smith has been the recipient of an epistle from Messrs. Smith, Pinsent, and Co., stating that they will call a meeting of the trustees for to-morrow and advise them to advertise for candidates. Although the proceedings relative to the contest are at such an advanced stage, officially the campaign is only just opening. In accordance with legal formalities, it is necessary to publicly advertise the vacant living, although it is tolerably certain that no more candidates will take the field. …
