March 18th 1897
Pursuant to notice in accordance with instructions received from the Local
Government Board a Parish Meeting was held in the vestry room at 7 o'clock
p.m. for the purpose of electing Parish Councillors for the year commencing
15th 1897.
The chairman of the Parish Council took the Chair and after stating the object
of the meeting asked that nominations be handed in.
Upon a nomination for the Chairman being handed in he vacated the Chair and Mr
E.H. Jessop was thereupon elected chairman.
Having decided that the 10 nominations which were handed in were valid the
Chairman informed the meeting that since the nominations were in excess of the
number of Councillors it was necessary to ask the meeting to elect by show of
hands.

the voting for the respective candidates was as follows:-
Easterbrook W.A. 32 votes Bellew W. 30 votes Pidler A. 27 votes
