THE BOUNDARY COMMISSIONERS AT
MACCLESFIELD.

Yesterday Lieut.-Col. D. C. C. Gordon, of the
Royal Engineers, and Mr. Cumin, barrister-at-law,
attended at the Town Hall, Macclesfield, for the
purpose of inquiring into the boundaries of the
borough. The Town Clerk (Mr. Parrott) produced 1
a map showing the present bouudaries of the muni-
cipal and parliamentary boroughs which are con-
terminous, and stated that the General Purposes
Committee of the Corporation, which comprised the
whole of that body, had passed a resolution recom-
mending that the following townships should be in-
cluded in the borough : —Sutton, Hurdsfield, Upton,
Titherington, Gawsworth, Over Alderley, Rainow,
part of Macclesfield Forest, Henbury, and Birtles.
The only expense these townships would be put to, if 1
included with the borough of -Macclesfield, was the
small sum that would be required for preparing the re-
gister of voters. The population of these outlying dis-
tricts, with the exception of Sutton, Hurdsfield, and
Upton, was principally agricultural. The inhabi-
tants of Sutton, Hurdsfield, and Upton were for
the most part employed in the silk mills of Maccles-
field. The only community of interest which the
persons residing in the outlying districts had with
Macclesfield was being near a good market town for
their produce. Gas was supplied from Macclesfield
to the out-townships of Sutton, Hurdsfield, Tither-
ington, and Upton, but none of the townships pro-
posed to be included were supplied with water by
the Corporation. Titherington possessed one of the
largest mills in England. There was no doubt that
all these outlaying districts would in course of time
be very greatly extended. Mr. Wadle, a county
magistrate, residing at Titherington, said he differed
from the Corporation as to the propriety of including
that township, as there was only a very small piece
of laud in Titherington which adjoined the township
of Macclesfield. The people of the districts pro-
posed by the Corporation to be included had not
been consulted en the matter, and had therefore ex-
pressed no opinion either one way or the other. Mr.
William Smith, a member of the Town Council,
gave evidence in favour of including the out-town-
ships adjoining the borough.—Mr. J. Holden, cotton
spinner, Manchester, said his firm h
Tad erected a very
large mill, which wasp artly in itherington and
partly in Hurdsfield. When the mill was erected
his firm expected it would remain outside the Par-
liamentary borough of Macclesfield, and would not
be liable to taxation. If Titherington were brought
within the proposed boundary there would not be
more than 40 houses which would come within the
meaning of the Reform Act. He therefore objected
to Titherington being brought within the boundary.
his firm now employed about 400 people, but when
the mill was completed they would employ between
1,300 and 1,400.—The Mayor of Macclesfield (Mr.
G. Wright) gave evidence in favour of the proposed
extension. lie was convinced that if the people of
the districts proposed to be incorporated with Mac-
clesfield knew that there would be no additional
taxation they would.gladly consent to be included.—
Alderman Joseph Clarke said that a considerable
number of people residing in Ilenbury came to
Macclesfield to work at the mills. If the Commis-
sioners declined to act upon the recommendation of
the Corporation, he would suggest a smaller bound-
ary, which might include that part of Sutton which
adjoined Rainow, and the whole of that portion of
Sutton called Langley and Lane Ends, skirting over
the canal, taking in Woodhouse End, Gawsworth,
land a portion of llenbury. The Commissioners
then invited opinions from working men.—John
Edwards, an operative silk weaver, living in Mac-
clesfield, said he did not know how soon he might
be compelled to live in one of the out-townships,
and it would be bard if 94 removing tilitiler ile

should be disfranchised. There was a community
of interest between the outlying districts of Mac-
clesfield. if Macclesfield prospered those who
lived in Sutton, Hurdsfield, Titherington, and
other places prospered ; also if Macclesfield suffered
these districts suffered with it. For the most
part the people of the outlying districts did the
same kind of work as the Macclesfield people, and
ought to have the franchise as well as those who
lived within the borough. In Titherington, Sutton,
Hurdsfield, part of Upton, and Rainow there were
many inhabitants who competed with the Maccles-
field operatives for work, and ought to have the
same privileges. If the educational institutions of
Macclesfield prospered it was a great advantage to
the outlying districts, because they sent their chil-
dren to Macclesfield to be educated. lie suggested a
boundary that would include all those who resided
near the large mill at Titherington, Higher Hurds-
field, part of Rainow, up to what was called Plunge
Brook. He would not include the whole of Higher
Sutton. The people of Titherington considered
themselves as almost natives of Macclesfield. They
identified themselves with everything connected
with it, and particularly when there was a nomina-
tion for members of Parliament. The inquiry was
then adjourned until Wednesday week, to afford the
inhabitants of the outlying townships an opportu-
nity to express an opinion upon the points at issue.
