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) …
