The County Council: On Wednesday at noon a meeting of parishioners of the parish of Highweek was held in the girls’ schoolroom, the Rev. S. G. Harris presiding, to consider that portion of the Government Act relating the election of a County Councillor for the Chudleigh district, and more particularly for nominating a deputation to attend a public meeting to be held that evening on the subject at Kingsteignton. The following were appointed: Mr. W. Pinsent, Capt. Down, Major Kitson, Mr. W. Vicary, Mr. R. Vicary, Mr. R. Pascoe, Mr. T. Underhay, and Mr. T. Shilston. At Kingsteignton and other parts of the district the opinion is most prevalent that Mr. W. Vicary, if nominated, will stand a good chance among any that may be pitted against him.
