ment, yielded to a requisition unanimously signed by the
town council, and by upwards of 600 of the burgesses of all
clews.—The election for Stockport was, unlike the others, •
political contest, and the first meeting of the new council not

this Stockport business, however, is the fast that, in die-
charlgailbte town-e/erk, the new tows wawa could not dis-
eharge grimy, and that they have appointed a
MCMINN to Mr. Coppock, without a salary. Mr. Cappock,
who, on the incorporation of the borough, had been ap-
pointed magistrate's clerk, on that occasion volunteeled to
discharge the duties of town clerk foe 6001. per year out of
the fees remind by hint as clerk to the magistrates, con-
senting to pay over the balance of fees to the borough fund.
These fees bars hitherto, for 13 yean. averaged 511. above
that sum ; so that if the magistrates think proper to continue
him as clerk, the council will not take much by their
mods& It is probable that neat year the decision will
have to be revered, the whole, or nearly too, of the your-
sakes next retiring being tories.—Mr. Rushton has been
elected mayor of Bolton, and Mr. Ald. Alcard for Warring-
