Conisborough School Board Election.

A meeting of the ratepayers of the parish of Conisborough was held in the Board Schoolroom on Thursday evening to consider the election of members for a School Board for the said parish.

An informality in the posting of the notices had rendered the whole proceedings informal, and the meeting was called with a view of inducing all but two of the candidates to withdraw their nomination, and thus facilitate an amicable arrangement and spare the parish an unnecessary expense.

Mr. T. H. Simpson was unanimously voted to the chair.

The result of the meeting was to allow the election to go forward, it being generally believed that the expenses would fall not upon the parish but upon the officer in fault.

The following are the names of the gentlemen nominated:— Walter Appleyard, John Blyth, William Goodlad, Major Edward Grantham, Rowland Hills, Richard Jackson, Caleb Kilner, Bosville Milward, John Wm. Nicholson, Robert Robinson, Arthur Simpson, David Smith, James Whitaker, and Rev. J. G. Wood.
