INTRODUCTION.

IN this volume, the last of the series, the proceedings of
the Courts Leet of the Manor of Manchester are con
tinued from the 8th October, 1832, to their conclusion
on the 24th April, 1846. There is but little to comment
upon in the entries in each Court, which are similar to
those contained in the last volumes, and chiefly relate to the using
of unfair weights, the selling of bad meat, and the discharge of too
much smoke from chimneys. The non-attendance of persons sum
moned to serve as Jurors is commented upon at each Court, and on
several occasions much difficulty was experienced in obtaining fit
persons to serve the offices of Boroughreeve and Constables.
Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart., was the lord of the manor
during the period covered by this volume, and James Norris, Esq.
(appointed in 1819), continued to act as Steward until the year 1836,
when James Heath Leigh, Esq., was appointed to that office, which
he was holding when this volume ends. Mr. Samuel Kay, the
Deputy-Steward, is also occasionally mentioned.
During the period covered by this volume very great changes
took place in the government of Manchester, owing to the borough
being incorporated in the year 1838. As the history of this incor
poration is one of a most interesting character, I have thought it
would be very fitting to give an account of it here, so as to connect
the government of the town in the past with that now in force. It
was also owing to the incorporation of the borough and the sub
sequent purchase of the manorial rights in 1846 that the holding of
the Courts Leet came to an end in that year, which is a further
reason why, in this, the concluding volume of the series of the
Court Leet Records, an account of the reasons for their- discon
tinuance should be given.
History of the Incorporation of the Borough.
At the Court Leet held on the 10th October, 1836, a difficulty
was experienced in obtaining a proper person to serve the office
of Boroughreeve (see p. 65), and this difficulty had been felt

vi INTRODUCTION.
on other occasions in previous years. At the Court Leet held in
the following year, on the 19th October, 1837, Mr. William Neild
was nominated as Boroughreeve, but he very earnestly requested to
be excused on the ground of ill-health, and because he had filled the
office of Constable in 1835-6. His excuses, however, were of no
avail, and on his finally refusing to take office he was fined by the
Deputy-Steward, Mr. Kay, in the sum of £200, on the ground that
the fine of £150 inflicted the previous year on Mr. Robert Barbour
had had no effect. One of the Jury of this Court Leet (see p. 94)
was Mr. Richard Cobden, the first time he had served in that
capacity, and there can be little doubt that this arbitrary proceeding
made a great impression on his mind. He protested at the time,
but in vain. The Manchester Guardian in a leading article pointed
out that this trouble arose because the Boroughreeve had to be a
person resident within the township of Manchester, and not in any
of the out-townships, and concluded by stating that it was "a perfect
absurdity to continue this antiquated mode of electing municipal
officers in such a town as Manchester," and that the only remedy
for this state of things was a "Municipal Corporation."
Shortly after this, Mr. Cobden drew up a strongly worded
appeal to the inhabitants of Manchester, entitled "Incorporate your
Borough," which was extensively circulated,1 but of which, strange
to say, no copy can now be found in any public or private library.
This pamphlet evidently helped to direct public opinion to this
question, and it was supplemented by a printed letter addressed to
Mr. Cobden by Mr. H. Coppock, Town Clerk of Stockport, in
reply to some enquiries which Mr. Cobden had made to him.
A preliminary meeting was held at the Thatched House Tavern on
the 24th January, 1838, and a committee was appointed to arrange
for a public meeting with a view to "submitting to the inhabitants
of this borough the propriety of petitioning the Queen in Council
for a Charter of Incorporation." A requisition was presented to the
Boroughreeve, John Brown, Esq., signed by about a thousand "ley
payers"2 in every part of the borough, "including a considerable
number of the most influential mercantile and manufacturing firms
' He states himself that 5,000 copies were circulated. My father, who was at this
time living with Mr. Richard Cobden in his house in Quay Street, tells me he remembers
this pamphlet very well, and that it was the first which Mr. Cobden printed.
- The names of these signatories will be found in the advertisement calling the
meeting in the Manchester Guardian of the 3rd February, 183S.

INTRODUCTION, vii
in the town and surrounding townships," and he summoned a
meeting on the gth February, in the large room of the then Town
Hall, that now used as the reading room of the Free Library. l
At this meeting, which was largely attended, Mr. Richard
Cobden moved the first resolution in the following terms: "That
it is due to the character of this important borough that its chief
municipal officers should be a body popularly chosen instead of
being nominated by the lord of the manor's Court Leet, and that,
as a preliminary step to the establishment of a responsible local self-
government, a petition be presented to her Majesty in Council for a
Charter of Incorporation under the Act 5th and 6th WTilliam IV.,
cap. 76, called 'the English Municipal Act.'" Mr. Cobden began
his speech as follows : " We have met this day to discuss a question
of vital importance, not merely to ourselves, but to those who will
come after us in this great metropolis of the manufactures of
England, and upon our decision this day must depend very import
ant results for ages to come to this population." And he continued:
"The old state of the government of Manchester is decrepid and
worn out. I once sat at the lord of the manor's Court Leet, and
there, in company of gentlemen of all shades of political opinion,
we came to the unanimous conclusion that whether you adopt a
Corporation Act, or the extension of your Police Acts, or whatever
change you intend, a change you must have, for the old state of
things cannot exist any longer." Mr. C. J. S. Walker, of Longford,
seconded the resolution, which, although it was strongly opposed
and an amendment moved against it, was declared by the Chairman
to be clearly carried by a majority of those present. Mr. Alexander
Kay moved, and Mr. W. R. Callender seconded, the appointment
of a Committee to carry the resolution into effect, and after naming
thirty-two persons to act on this Committee, the meeting separated,
after having lasted four and a half hours.
The result of this important meeting was a great surprise, and
the Tory and Radical parties at once combined to oppose the Whigs,
1 No sooner was this meeting announced in the local papers of the 3rd February,
than a furious paper attack was made on its promoters and on the Corporation Act
itself. The walls were covered with placards, in some of which the objects of the
meeting were said to be to introduce "a Bourbon police," to force the new poor-law, &c,
upon the people, and to greatly add to the expenses of the rates, &c. Its promotors
were called "the base, bloody, and brutal whigs," and the Corporation Act was styled
" infamous and infernal." and other choice epithets.

by whose instrumentality it had been carried. Meetings were held
in opposition to the scheme, and the Manchester Courier wrote
about it as "The Corporation Nuisance," and subsequently more
shortly still as "The Nuisance." A petition in favour of incorpora
tion was drawn up and extensively signed, and a counter petition
got up by "the anti-incorporators," as they were termed, was also
very largely signed. On these petitions, the one purporting to have
11,783 and the other 31,947 signatures, being sent to the Privy
Council, two Commissioners were sent down to Manchester to
inquire into the genuineness of the names attached to them. The
Commissioners arrived on the 24th May, and Mr. Richard Cobden
attended them on behalf of the petitioners for the Charter, and
Mr. James Crossley l on behalf of those opposing it. After a lengthy
enquiry, extending over three weeks, it was found that a large pro
portion of the names attached to the opposing petition were forgeries
or entirely fictitious, and the numbers were reduced to 7,984 in
favour of, and 8,694 against, incorporation.
Mr. Cobden himself writes to a friend as follows2 : — " I was
engaged before the Commissioners, employed in exposing the
trickery of the Tories in getting up their petition against the incor
poration of our borough. Three weeks I was incessantly occupied
at the Town Hall. ... I believe now there is little doubt of
our being chartered before the next November election, and it will
be a new era for Manchester when it shakes off the feudal livery of
Sir Oswald Mosley to put on the democratic garb of the Municipal
Reform Act. So important do I consider the step for incorporating
the borough that I have been incessantly engaged on the task for
the last six months. I began by writing a letter, of which I circu
lated five thousand copies, with a view of gaining the Radicals by
' In connection with Mr. James Crossley's action on behalf of the opponents of the
Charter, it is amusing to note that in the month of November, 1838, believing himself
attacked in the columns of the Guardian, he sent a "hostile message" to Mr. John
Edward Taylor, the proprietor of that paper, challenging him to fight a duel. This
challenge Mr. Taylor promptly declined, on the ground that he was a married man and
had recently insured his life !
5 Mr. John Morley's Life of Cobden. pp. 123-4. The active share which Mr.
Cobden took in the incorporation of Manchester has been very much overlooked, and is
now all but forgotten. He was undoubtedly the "moving spirit," as this summary of
the proceedings will show ; and to his ability and energy, as much as to that of anyone,
the present inhabitants of Manchester arc very greatly indebted. Would it not be fitting
that a bust or some memorial of him should be placed in the Town Hall, in the company
of those of Sir Thomas Potter, Mr. Wilson, Sir Joseph Heron, and others, with whom
he worked so cordially and so energetically?

showing the popular provisions of the Act. They, however, joined
with the Tories in opposing the idea, but finally the 'shopocracy'
carried the day." He continues: "What with going twice to London
on deputations, and fighting the battle with two extreme political
parties in Manchester, I have been so constantly engaged in action
that I have had no time for theorizing upon any topic," &c.
But the troubles of those who were promoting incorporation
were not yet at end. For some reason or other, and not improbably
because it had been represented that, even after the revision of
the lists of signatories, the number of those against incorporation
exceeded the number of those in its favour, the Privy Council
ordered the inquiry to be re-opened in the month of September,
1838. In this renewed inquiry every care was taken to ascertain
the bona fides of the signatories, a personal canvas of the writers
being made by the Commissioner, and on the 29th September it is
stated that "the difficulties which stood in the way of granting the
charter of incorporation have been removed, and no further delay
will now be experienced in issuing it.'' But the Conservatives were
by no means depressed, and the Courier, in a leading article on the
20th October, recommended them to take no part in the forthcoming
election, as eminent counsel had advised that "any acquiescence for
even a short period of time by the inhabitants would prevent them
from subsequently disputing the validity of the charter."
Finally, in the following week, all the local papers announced
that the Charter of Incorporation, dated 23rd October, 1838, had
reached Manchester on the 25th October, being addressed to
Mr. William Neild, as the Chairman of the Committee for Promoting
the Incorporation of the Borough. The Corporation was to consist
of a Mayor, sixteen Aldermen, and forty-eight Councillors, represent
ing fifteen wards. The first election of Councillors was fixed for
the 14th December, and that of Aldermen and Mayor on the day
following, John Hyde, Esq., the ex-Boroughreeve, being the return
ing officer. The Manchester Guardian had a leading article on the
receipt of the Charter, which is well worth quoting : — "Thus after a
struggle of great duration and severity, protracted by the unworthy
artifices and frauds of the enemies of incorporation, the inhabitants
of this important and populous borough have made the first great
step towards ridding themselves of the old feudal government under
which they have laboured, unsuited as it is to the present circum
stances of the borough, and towards obtaining municipal institutions

more in accordance with the great and growing importance of the
town. It must be obvious to all men of the slightest penetration,
that the principal municipal offices in a town which is now second in
population only to the Metropolis, and which is growing in wealth
and magnitude at a greater rate than any other in the kingdom,
cannot safely be left in the nomination of any individual, however
respectable he may be, and that the disjointed and heterogeneous
system of police, which now prevails in the different townships of
the borough, is wholly inadequate to their protection. That a
change was absolutely necessary every man admits, whatever may
be his politics, and the real question that has arisen between the
advocates and the opponents of incorporation has been, whether
that change should be effected by a Charter of Incorporation,
granted under the general law of the land and vesting the govern
ment of the town in the general body of the ratepayers, or by some
undefined and untried tinkering of the present old and worn-out
system. Between these two plans, we think, no man who duly values
the principles of popular government can hesitate for a moment."
On Friday, the 14th December, 1838, the first election of the
forty-eight Councillors took place,1 and on the following day, Satur
day, 15th December, the sixteen Aldermen were duly elected by the
newly-appointed Councillors by means of voting papers. The
names of these sixteen Aldermen, with the wards to which they
were assigned, are as follows : —
New Cross Ward  James Murray, Cotton Spinner, and Charles
James Stanley Walker, Gentleman
St. Michael's Ward . . . John Brooks, Calico Printer.
Collegiate Church Ward. James Kershaw, Calico Printer.
St. Clement's Ward ... William Neild, Calico Printer.

be found at the beginning of the printed " Proceedings of the Council," from October,
I-838, to November, 1839, and also in the Manchester Guardian and other local papers.

INTRODUCTION. xi
As soon as this election was finished the Council adjourned, and
at their reassembling in the afternoon it was proposed by "Mr.
Alderman Cobden," and seconded by Mr. S. D. Darbishire, one of
the Councillors for All Saints' Ward, that Thomas Potter, Esq.,1
be elected Mayor, which was carried unanimously. After passing a
cordial vote of thanks to the returning officer, John Hyde, Esq.
(Boroughreeve of the town in 1836-7), and to Mr. George Wilson,
the Honorary Secretary of the Committee for Incorporating the
Borough, and to David Price, Esq. (one of the late Constables), for
his labours on the burgess list, the Council proceeded to elect the
Town Clerk. There were four candidates — Messrs. Joseph Heron,
James Chapman, Thomas Higson, and John Ogden. Mr. Alder
man Cobden proposed, and Mr. Alderman Kershaw seconded, the
appointment of Mr. Joseph Heron, which was carried unanimous!}',
there being no other candidate nominated.
The meeting was then adjourned to Wednesday, December 19th,
when the Council met, with the Mayor in the chair, in the large room
adjoining the York Hotel, in King Street. Mr. Cobden introduced
Mr. Joseph Heron to the Council as their Town Clerk, who thanked
them for the great honour they had done him in appointing him to
that responsible position.2
The Council, being thus successfully launched, met with a large
amount of cordial support, but the "anti-incorporators," in accord
ance with the opinion of " eminent counsel," publicly announced
their intention of contesting the validity of the Charter, and, as was
added, "we hope that the gentlemen who have with so much spirit
come forward to preserve the town from the infliction of a system of
1 At a preliminary private meeting of the Aldermen and Councillors, in order to
select one of their number as Mayor, Mr. Potter had 24 votes and Mr. William Neild
23 votes, one councillor declining to vote. It was then agreed to support Mr. Potter as
the unanimous choice of the Council. The Courier describes Mr. Thomas Potter as " a
Radical and Unitarian," and Mr. William Neild as a " Whig and Quaker."
2 In reporting this meeting, which it described as " the Farce of the Nuisance
Mongers," the Manchester Courier gives the following amusing account: — There was in
the chair "a pouting elderly gentleman [Mr. Thomas Potter], whom everybody smiled
at and called ' Mister Mayor,' and who was evidently very much pleased with everybody
for calling him by so euphonious a nickname, and who bobbed his head and smiled at
everybody. After a lapse of a few minutes a tall young gentleman [Mr. Joseph Heron],
exhibiting symptoms of great modesty and embarrassment, was led into the room
between two other gentlemen, who were very busy patronising him. Presently they
began to say something about 'Town Clerk,' and by a singular coincidence the tall
young gentleman seemed to like that nickname quite as well as the pouting gentleman
did his."

Xll INTRODUCTION.
government which is detested wherever it prevails, will be supported
with becoming energy by all who participate in their sentiments."
Space does not permit me to enter into any details of the
troubles which the new Corporation encountered, but they are very
well summarised by Mr. Alexander Kay, who participated in them,
in his "Address delivered to the Members of the Town Council of
Manchester on Monday, the ioth of November, 1845," on retiring
from the office of Mayor, which he had held for the past two years.
This address was subsequently printed,1 and in it he thus describes
the events of the years 1 839-1 842 : —
"Very shortly afterwards [after the opening meetings of the
Council] a meeting of Mr. Oswald Milne's2 friends took place, and
resolutions were agreed to announcing a determination to contest
the validity of the Charter. Whatever reasons were assigned to
induce the Tory or Conservative body in Manchester to contest the
validity of the Charter, there can now be no question that the
simple and sole object of the opposition was to continue to three
public officers the large fees and emoluments they had been accus
tomed to receive, or to secure to them compensations, calculated
according to their own estimates of the emoluments of which it was
anticipated they might possibly be deprived.
"On the 5"1 of February, 1839, a separate Commission of the
Peace for the Borough was granted by the Crown, and on the Ist of
April then following a grant of a Court of Quarter Sessions for
the Borough was issued.
"On the 8th of April, 1839, a Coroner for the Borough was
appointed. Immediately after that officer had commenced holding
inquests, an action was brought against Mr Chapman (the Borough
Coroner) by Mr Rutter (the County Coroner), for interfering in his
office ; and, being instituted with the view of trying the validity of
the Charter, the defence was undertaken by the Council, and ordered

to be conducted by the Town Clerk. That action was tried at
Liverpool before Mr Justice Maule on the 26th of August, 1839,
and a verdict was found for the defendant (Mr Chapman), subject to
a bill of exceptions tendered by Mr Cresswell, who was on that
occasion the leading counsel for the plaintiff (Mr Rutter).
"On the 22d of February, 1841, the Court of Exchequer
Chamber, after having had the bill of exceptions twice argued,
delivered judgment in this action, establishing the validity of the
Charter. The argument on each occasion occupied two successive
days. " During this entire period, the proceedings of the Town
Council were to a great extent paralysed. The Overseers of several
of the Townships within the Borough refusing to pay the rates duly
laid upon them, the Council was compelled to issue warrants of
distress to enforce their payment.
"In order to meet the attack on the Charter, as well as to
provide ample means to defray the necessary expenses of the
Council until the Borough Rate should be established, a bond was
given by 74 individuals to the Bank of Manchester for ,£27,100,
in order to procure advances to that amount to the Borough
Treasurer, to enable him to meet the current expenditure of the
Council.1 "A review of the occurrences of that period has revived the
sentiments of admiration and respect excited in me by the steadiness
and perseverance with which Mr. Alderman Neild, Mr. Cobden (the
present Member for Stockport), and Mr. George Wilson, the inde
fatigable Chairman of the Council of the Anti-Corn-Law League,
supported the Charter they had been mainly instrumental in pro
curing. Nor should the confidence and determination which the

late Sir Thomas Potter,1 inspired by his energetic support of the
Queen's grant, be forgotten. We shall not soon have amongst us
an individual who, like him, will so readily incur large liabilities, or
who could infuse in others the spirit which actuated himself in support
of any great public object brought under his consideration, and of
which he approved. The names of the persons agreeing to become
parties to the bond which I have before referred to were obtained
by him in the course of a few days.
"The older members of the Council will perhaps now smile on
being reminded of the contumely with which the Council was at this
period treated by the existing authorities. Even the use of a room
in this Town Hall for the ordinary meetings of the Council was
refused. " The judgment of the Court of Exchequer Chamber was
questioned by Mr. Rutter, and an appeal to the House of Lords
was threatened. In the meantime, however, the utmost exertion
was used to get clauses introduced into a Bill, brought into the
House of Commons about April, 1841, for giving compensation to
the three parties before referred to, and in the clauses as first proposed,
to Mr. Oswald Milne by name. The efforts made on that occasion
by Mr. Wilson Patten, one of the Members for North Lancashire,
in favour of these clauses ; the signal failure of the attempt ; the
heats and animosities produced ; and the loud shouts of indignation
which pealed from every ward in the Borough against their intro
duction, will not soon pass from recollection. The Bill was finally
lost. "It is not improbable that the battle might still have been
continued, and the settlement of the legal question protracted, if the
1 In recording the events of Sir Thomas Potter's life, the Manchester Guardian, on
the 22nd March, 184S1 thus alludes to his share in the work of incorporation : — "It was,
however, in the struggle for obtaining and defending the charter of incorporation for the
Borough of Manchester that Sir Thomas Potter most especially distinguished himself.
In that most arduous, protracted, and at one time exceedingly doubtful slruggle, his
undaunted courage, unabated energy, and untiring industry were tasked to the uttermost ;
and we believe we express the opinion of almost every person cognizant of the difficulties,
which were encountered and overcome by the friends of incorporation, that had it not
been for the unparalleled exertions of Sir Thomas the charter must have been abandoned."
As an acknowledgment of his services in this respect, he was not only elected first Mayor
of Manchester, but his term of office was extended to a second year, during which,
namely, on the 1st July, 1840, her Majesty was gratiously pleased to confer on him the
honour of knighthood. At that time, however, the office was one which brought to its
possessor a much greater amount of labour, expense, and anxiety than of comfort or
distinction."

INTRODUCTION. XV
liabilities incurred by the Overseers of the Poor, who had hitherto
refused to pay the Borough Rates laid in the several Townships
within the B.orough, had not become too great to be voluntarily
incurred. The opinion given by Sir Frederick Pollock, the then
Attorney-General (read at a meeting of the Overseers of the different
Townships within the Borough, held on the 16th February, 1842,
for the purpose of considering the course they ought to take as to
the payment of County Rates), apprised them 'That the Court of
Exchequer having pronounced the Charter valid for all purposes, it
must be presumed to be so until upset by the House of Lords,
which he thought it would not be.'
"The tables were thus unexpectedly and materially turned,
inasmuch as the payment either of Borough Rate or of County Rate
involved the necessity of recovering back any money improperly
paid. The efforts to obtain some legislative enactment with a view
to ensure the recovery of compensations were vigorously resumed,
and ultimately resulted in the passing of the Act of the 5 & 6 Vic,
c. in., entitled 'An Act to confirm the incorporation of certain
Boroughs, and to indemnify such persons as have sustained loss
thereby.' That Act received the Royal Assent on the 12th August,
1842. The Act (6 Vic, c. 17) 'for transferring to the Mayor,
Aldermen, and Burgesses of Manchester certain powers and pro
perty then vested in the Commissioners for Cleansing, Lighting,
Watching and regulating the Town of Manchester,' quickly followed.
The Townships of Chorlton-upon-Medlock and Ardwick voluntarily
transferred their powers to the Corporation ; the Council of the
Borough assumed its proper functions ; and, from that time to the
present, the struggle between the Town Council and the real
opponents of- the Charter has simply been as to the compensations
to be givenf)."
1 The magnitude of these claims is probably now forgotten, but the following
particulars will show how heavy they were, and how much the borough is to be con
gratulated in having contested them so successfully under the able direction of the Town
Clerk, Mr., now Sir, Joseph Heron. Mr. W. S. Rutter, as Coroner for the County, claimed
an annuity of £334 os. lid. for his life, from the I2th August, 1842, and a sum of
^2,031 13s. 7d. for fees between the 1st April, 1839, and the 12th August, 1842. He
succeeded in obtaining an annuity of ^277 4s. 8d., dating from the 1st April, 1839.
Mr. Oswald Milne claimed the gross sum of ^34, 724 2s. 6d. as his compensation for the
loss of his fees and emoluments as Clerk to the Stipendiary Magistrate acting within the
Townships of Manchester and Salford, and also as Clerk to the Magistrates acting for
the Division of Manchester for certain prosecutions, and also as Clerk to the Manchester

xvi INTRODUCTION.
Mr. Kay thus summed up the advantages which had accrued to
the borough by its becoming incorporated : —
"We have substituted a vigorous and effective administration of
our local affairs for one which was worn out and no longer adapted
to the wants and exigencies of our industrious and increasing popu
lation and the times in which we live. We have acquired an
effective and well-organised body of police, the moral influence of
which is even greater than the additional amount of its physical
force. We have largely increased, and have every prospect of still
further increasing, the funds destined to improve and embellish this
the metropolis of the great manufacturing district of England. And
we have acquired the power (to be exercised I hope judiciously) of
promoting the health and comfort of our population."
During all this period of difficulty and uncertainty in connection
with the new Corporation, the older system of government was still
continued. The manorial Courts Leet were regularly held at
Michaelmas and Easter, but the proceedings became more and more
formal in character, and the business transacted of less and less
interest and importance. But it was only when the manorial rights

The Transferance of the Manorial Rights to the
Corporation.
As early as the year 1808 an attempt was made on behalf of the
inhabitants of the town to purchase the manorial rights from Sir
Oswald Mosley, Bart, the then lord of the manor of Manchester.
A meeting to consider the general improvement of the town was
held at the Bull's Head Inn on the 27th January, 1808, at which
William Starkie, Esq., the Boroughreeve, presided. An influential
Committee was appointed, of which Mr. William Fox was the
chairman, and on the 22nd June, 1808, a sub-committee was formed
to conduct the correspondence, &c, with Sir Oswald Mosley. At a

Commissioners of Police. After much expensive litigation, and a trial at Liverpool on
the 23rd August, 1844, which the Council appealed against, it was finally decided that
the Corporation was not obliged to pay him anything, and he received nothing !
Mr. Robert John Harper claimed, as Clerk of the Peace for the County, the gross
sum of jf 19,351 os. iod., or an annuity of ^741 5s. 5d. After litigation, and an appeal
to the Lords of the Treasury, he was finally awarded an annuity of £6 8s. od. !

INTRODUCTION. xvii
public meeting held on the ioth November, 1808 (at which the then
Boroughreeve, Richard Rushforth, Esq., presided), the Committees
presented their report, which was afterwards printed.1 They stated
that the lord of the manor was willing to sell the manorial rights, &c,
and that the price asked for the manor, the manorial rights, and
certain buildings in the town, was fixed by Sir Oswald Mosley at
£90,000. After some discussion, the public meeting was adjourned
till the 22nd December, 1808, when another Committee was
appointed, and fresh negotiations were begun.
In the meantime, the contemplated purchase of the manor had
excited widespread interest, and several pamphlets were written
both for and against the scheme. The first of these appeared
shortly after the meeting held on the ioth November, and was
entitled "An Address to the Inhabitants of Manchester on the
impolicy of their purchasing the Manor, by Charles M'Niven."2
This was answered by an anonymous pamphlet, bearing the title,
"A Reply to Mr M'Niven's 'Address,' &c, by one of the addressed."3
This, which bears date 10th February, 1809, gives a good summary
of the proceedings which had taken place, and is ably and carefully
written, but I have not been able to ascertain the author's name.
A public meeting was held on the 23rd February, 1809, when the
Committee presented their report, which was afterwards printed,4
and named £70,000 as their estimate of the proper price to be paid to
Sir Oswald Mosley. The meeting was adjourned to the 9th March,
but the room being packed, in consequence of the circulation of
a handbill against the scheme, it was again adjourned to the 6th
April. 1 The title of this pamphlet is as follows : — " Reports of the Several Committees
appointed in consequence of a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of Manchester, for
taking into consideration the following Subjects, viz. . The New Police Act, Paving
Flagging and Soughing, Sunday Toll, Local Administration of Justice, Purchase of the
Manor of Manchester, &c, &c. To which are prefixed Copies of the Resolutions of the
Town's meetings on these Subjects. Published by order of the meeting of the ioth

xviii INTRODUCTION.
More pamphlets now appeared, the first . of which bore the
following singular title page: "The Murder is Out! or Committee-
Men fingering cash ; being a sequel to ' New Taxes ! Seventy
Thousand Pounds ! ' Addressed to every Householder in the Manor
of Manchester. Published for the Benefit of the Soup-Shops, not
by a Boroughreeve, a Constable, a Lord, nor a Committee-Man."1 It
is dated from Longsight Hall, 13th March, 1 809, and signed "Francis
Philips.'' Mr. Philips writes strongly in favour of the purchase, and
states that his attention had been drawn to the subject by a perusal
of Mr. M'Niven's pamphlet, and "the short and able reply to it,"
which had resulted in a strong conviction that " the Manor ought to
be purchased whilst it is to be had." An answer to this appeared
by an anonymous writer, entitled "A Letter to Francis Philips,
Esq., on his pamphlet entitled 'Murder is Out,' &c, by a native of
the parish of Manchester."2 In this tract, which would appear to
have been written by a lawyer, there is a reference to the fact that
Mr. Philips' mercantile avocations had not left him time to study
the works of Coke ; and he accordingly answered it in a second
pamphlet, entitled "Coke upon Lyttleton ; or, The Rejoinder: by
Francis Philips."3 This is dated from Longsight Hall, 27th March,
1809.4 But in spite of all this pamphlet literature, the scheme for pur
chasing the manor of Manchester fell through, chiefly, I think,
because Sir Oswald Mosley would not accept less than the sum
originally named by him (£90,000), and this sum the Committee
demurred to giving.
Nothing further appears to have been done in this matter for
more than thirty years; but after the incorporation of the borough,
and when the new Corporation was firmly established, the import
ance of acquiring possession of the manor of Manchester became
more and more apparent. At a Council meeting held on the 17th
January, 1844, it was ordered that steps should be taken to introduce
into the Act of Parliament then- about to be obtained "for the good

government and police regulation of the borough," clauses empower
ing the Council to treat for and buy the manorial rights of the
manor of Manchester, and the rights and properties incident thereto.
This was accordingly done, and on the 7th August, 1844, the General
Purposes Committee were desired to communicate with the lord of
the manor, or his agents, "for the purpose of obtaining the informa
tion necessary to enable them to report to the Council as to the
terms upon which the manorial rights and property, either together
or separately, can be purchased by the Corporation under the powers
for that purpose recently obtained."'
During this time Alexander Kay, Esq., who was then Mayor of
Manchester, took a leading part in the negotiations between the
Corporation and Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart., lord of the manor of
Manchester. At a meeting of the Council held on the 24th March,
1845, it was reported by the General Purposes Committee that the
Town Clerk had received a statement showing the annual income
derived from the manorial rights and properties, proposed to be
purchased by the Corporation, and of which Sir Oswald Mosley had
estimated the value to be £218,755. ar,d tnat he was prepared to
sell them to the Corporation for the sum of ^200,000. The Com
mittee also reported that they had unanimous!}' come to the
conclusion that it was desirable to obtain possession of the manorial
rights, &c, and that the Mayor, Mr. Alderman Xeild, and the Town
Clerk had had an interview with Sir Oswald Mosley at Rolleston
Hall, on the 12th March last. At this interview the Corporation
had offered £180,000, but Sir Oswald Mosley declined to accept
less than £200,000, but expressed his willingness to take £5,000 as
a deposit, and to accept the Corporation mortgages for the balance
at 3^4 per cent., the Corporation not to be required to pay more than
£4,000 per annum in liquidation of the purchase money, but with
an option to increase that payment to ,£6,000 per annum.
The Committee stated that they entirely approved of the action
of the deputation, and they added that the}" "do not feel that it is
necessary, nor are they disposed to dilate upon the advantages which
may reasonably be anticipated from the Corporation becoming the
possessors of the manorial rights, nor to do more than remind the
Council of the unfortunate termination of the last negotiation, which,
in the year 1808, was entered upon with Sir Oswald Mosley. As
the consequence of that termination, the Corporation is now called

XX INTRODUCTION.
upon to pay more than double the sum for which the rights might
then have been purchased by the town ; at the same time, the
Council will bear in mind that the income was then stated to be
only £2,800 per annum, whilst it is now stated by Sir Oswald Mosley
to be upwards of .£9,200 per annum." They also commented upon
Sir Oswald's indifference as to whether his offer was accepted or not,
as he no doubt felt confident of the tolls, &c, increasing in value,
and they strongly recommended the Council to accept the offer
now made. It was also pointed out that "the Council will be able
to form an opinion as to how far the tolls received by Sir Oswald
Mosley are likely to be increased when the same have to be collected
by the servants and under the direction of the Council, and whether
or not property of this description is likely to become more valuable
in the hands and under the management of a public body than in
those of a private individual."
The Council then unanimously passed the following resolution : —
"That the offer made by Sir Oswald Mosley to sell to the Mayor,
Aldermen, and Burgesses of the Borough the manorial rights of
the manor of Manchester, together with the several properties
particularly mentioned and referred to in the statement delivered
by his solicitor to the Town Clerk, on the third day of December
now last passed, for the sum of £200,000, to be secured and paid
in the manner and at the time stated in the report of the Committee
for General Purposes this day presented, be and the same is hereby
accepted by the Council ; and that the said Committee be and they
are hereby authorised and empowered to affix to the formal contract,
so soon as the same is prepared and settled for execution, the Com
mon Seal of the Corporation." At the Council meeting held on
the 2nd July, 1845, the Mayor was directed to affix the Corporate
Common Seal to the contract for the purchase of the manorial
rights, and the Treasurer was ordered to pay the sum of £5,000 as
the deposit on account of the purchase money.
The drawing up of the necessary deeds, &c, took considerable
time, and it was not till the Council meeting held on the 6th May,
1846, that the Common Seal of the Corporation was ordered to be
fixed to the deed of conveyance of the manorial rights, and also to
the mortgage of the same hereditaments, and the borough rate, for
securing the sum of .£195,000, the unpaid residue of the purchase
money, to Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart, In moving this resolution,

INTRODUCTION. xxi
Mr. Alderman Kay said "that he had long been persuaded that,
next to the charter of incorporation, this conveyance was one of the
most important deeds which could be presented to the Council, for it
conferred upon them rights and powers, which, if they were suffered
to remain in the hands of a private individual, would tend materially
to impede those various improvements, which he believed to be
essential to the health and comfort of the inhabitants of this populous
borough." He also spoke in terms of commendation of the liberal
and handsome conduct of Sir Oswald Mosley throughout a protracted
negotiation of fourteen months.
In consequence of the purchase of the manorial rights on the
24th March, 1845, ar>d tne sealing of the contract on the 2nd July
in that year, it was generally thought that the Court Leet held on
15th October, 1845, would be the last one held in the town, and
so more than usual interest was taken in it. On the day that it
was to be held the Manchester Guardian thus referred to it: "The
last Court Leet of Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart., as lord of the manor of
Manchester, will be held this day at twelve o'clock in the new Manor
Court House. In order to signalise the occasion, we believe the
leet jury will include Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P., Mr. Alderman
Neild, and other gentlemen, who, from seeing some years ago the
working of these Courts and the difficulty of inducing a gentleman
resident in Manchester to serve the office of boroughreeve or that of
constable, were led to make those strenuous efforts to obtain a
charter of incorporation, which, in spite of the opposition they
encountered, were ultimately successful. Another result will be
seen to-day in the election of members of the Corporation to the
almost obsolete offices of boroughreeve and constables. Although
these offices, with the exception of distributing some charitable
funds, are sinecures, it is desirable on this occasion to continue the
elections that the muniments and other matters officially delivered to
the boroughreeve by his predecessor may be transferred to members
of the Corporation as the manorial authorities, and, indeed, as the
representatives of the corporate body, who are or will be the new
lords of the manor. These things will lend a more than ordinary
interest to the last Court Leet of Sir Oswald Mosley."
At this Court, held on the 15th October, 1845, James Heath
Leigh, Esq., barrister-at-law and steward of the Court, presided.
Mr. Samuel Kay, deputy-steward, was also present, and John Whipp,

xxii INTRODUCTION.
bailiff of the manor, who opened the Court with the old " Oyez,
oyez, oyez (which he pronounced 'O yes'), all ye that are summoned
to this place draw near and give your attendance and answer to your
names." The following gentlemen were sworn on the Jury (see
p. 247) : — Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P., foreman, Mr. Alderman
Bancroft, Mr. Samuel Berry, Mr. James Consterdine, Mr. Alderman
Kershaw, Mr. Alderman Neild, Mr. Alderman John Potter, Mr.
Joseph Peel, Mr. Alderman Shuttleworth, Mr. Alderman Willert, Mr.
Alderman Watkins, Mr. E. P. Thomson, and Mr. Edward Tootal.
The learned Steward addressed the Jury, and after commenting
upon so many members of the Corporation being nominated on it,
congratulated the town on the purchase of the manorial rights. Mr.
Kay stated that it would be necessary to appoint the usual officers in
order to distribute certain charities, one of which, Clarke's, had an
income of £1,800 a year. He added that "it was highly desirable
in so happy a union between the several authorities of the populous
and important town of Manchester that they should appoint to the
nominal offices of Boroughreeve and Constables of Manchester,
gentlemen who were members of their own Corporation." The
Jury accordingly elected Alexander Kay, Esq., the Mayor, as
Boroughreeve, and Mr. Alderman John Potter and Mr. Alderman
Paul Ferdinand Willert, as the two Constables. After being sworn
in, the "Mayor-Boroughreeve" addressed a few remarks to the Jury
upon the singular anomaly of a mayor of an incorporated borough
taking the office of boroughreeve.
Mr. Cobden then addressed the Court, and said "that probably
he should not be considered by his fellow jurors as doing his duty if
he allowed the present occasion to pass without expressing what he
believed to be the feeling of the jury, their complete concurrence
with the observations of the learned Steward and the great satisfaction
they felt at the termination of the rights and privileges of this Court,
which had lasted, he believed, for many centuries, and which was
admirably suited to the times in which it was established, but which
all parties admitted was quite unsuited to the wants and requirements
of the present day. He was sure there was but one opinion as to the
character of the arrangement made for the transfer of the manorial
property, rights, and privileges both on the part of the Town Council
and on that of Sir Oswald Mosley, and it was much to be wished
that all necessary changes in our institutions might be made as
tranquilly and with the same good feeling as in this instance."

INTRODUCTION. xxiii
In consequence, however, of the delay which occurred in com
pleting the conveyance of the manorial rights to the Corporation,
the Court above described was not absolutely the last Court Leet
held in Manchester, for it was necessary to hold the Easter Court
Leet on the 24th April, 1846; but at this a few fines only were
inflicted (see pp. 253-257), and the Courts Leet of the manor of
Manchester then became a thing of the past.
Having thus traced the history of the incorporation of the town
and the purchase of the manorial rights at some little length, it only
remains to add that in this, the twelfth volume of the series, the
printing of the proceedings of the Courts Leet of the Manor of
Manchester, as far as the}' are preserved, from their commencement
in 1552, down to their cessation in 1846, is brought to a conclusion.
All the proceedings' have been printed in full, and if by any
mischance an}' accident should ever happen to the originals, there
is now no fear of the information which they contain becoming lost.
It is a matter for regret that no traces of the missing Records for
the years 1687 to 173 1 have been met with, as owing to its loss
there is a hiatus in the sequence of the proceedings, which is very
unfortunate. In the Introduction to the first volume a full account
of the origin of the Courts Leet, their powers, &c, will be found,
whilst in those of the subsequent volumes a resume of the contents
of each is given. In the earlier volumes the proceedings afforded
much scope for annotation, of which I was glad to avail myself; but
as they come down to modern times the proceedings become more
and more formal in character, and it was not possible to add any
notes. No pains have been spared to make the contents of these
books as accurate and complete as possible, and I can only hope
that the verdict of posterity may be as favourable as have been the
comments of those who have criticised them during the past five
years.
