THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1866

WE delight in Manchester naen. They are so
original! They have about them all that primitive
roughness, which, is said, to cover the richest water
and most piercing radiance of the diamond. The
question at this moment is not, however, how to
account for the existence of such inestimable
qualities in our species, but how to deal with them
when they become refulgent? Our Manchester
brethren have recently fallen upon Mr. HORSFALL,
and have threatened to set Mr. MILNXR
GIBSON and Mr. COBDEN at our representative,
to worry him for the special benefit of the
agricultural interest of Salford ! This is
really too bad. We must interpose, and endeavour
to save a political opponent from the hands of a
ruthless enemy to our social prosperity. And
we will commence tby saying that Mr.
HoRsiALL , in discussing the Town Dues
question in Parliament, did much good
service. He exposed the inconsistency of
the Corporation of Manchester, and sheaved very
clearly that, what they considered " Latin for goose"
in one case, was by no means classic " sauce for
gander." Manchester in their estimation is still
entitled to feudal tolls, dating from the remotest
manorial ages, and can claim for itself the right to
sell to dealers in their public market-places " the
" right to sell." To make this system fall with
the greatest ease on the Burgesses, the Manchester

Examiner says " the right to sell certain articles of
" produce, in certain places, is sold every year to
" the dealers in those articles, who, as a matter of
" course, lay the burden again on their customers,
" who are the Manchester public at large." Here
we will venture to ask our cotemporary how this
right to sell" is sold? Is it by auction, when
competition may be carried to such a height as to
exclude the needy and industrious dealer from the
privilege of selling? or are such municipal immu-
nities bestowed by the Corporation on their own
hacks and active partizans?
The Examiner, in alluding to the NORTHERN
TIMES, has informed its readers that :—" One
" audacious Liverpool journalist wanted the other
" day to know how much Liverpool paid towards
" the Manchester manorial exactions ?" Our

"as in

charges

cotemporary answers our question, and with great
ingenuity. He says :—" If any Liverpool
" housewife does come on a Saturday evening to
" Smithfield market to buy vegetables or fish, then
"we readily admit that money is taken from
" Liverpool, for which they obtain all the
" advantages of the markets. Virtually, in
" Manchester, as in Liverpool and all other towns,
" manorial or market tolls are only charges made
"as a rent for the standing accommodation
" voluntarily obtained in the market ; and we are
" quite prepared to challenge comparison of the
" rent so paid in Manchester, with that exacted
" from the stall-keepers in St. John's and
Gill-
•'street markets, Liverpool." Here it is fairly
admitted that if a Liverpool housewife goes to
Manchester to buy, the manorial. or market tolls
are taken from Liverpol. And since daalers must
purchase the right to sell in the same market, how
Mr. GIBSQN and "Mr. COBDEN will venture to meet
Mr. HOWITALL on the Liverpool Town: Dues,
which, ' Mal:chaster, and all other
made as
