LANCASHIRE. i 
__ Fronva report of the trufees of the Lying-in 
Hof, ital, at Manchefter, lately pub)ithed, ic ap- 
pears that the number of patients. that were a.« 
Cumberland and V¥-frroreland.... Lancafpire. 
‘was decided, by a majority 
 [Feb. 
mitted from May 4, 1796, to Feb. t, 1797, i¢ 
543; and that the total number of patients. 
who have been either admitted into the houfe, 
or aitended at their own homes, fince’the fir - 
eftablifhment of the charity, is 4164. 
Ata laie mecting of the ley payers, ia the 
parith of Manchefter, for the purpofe of invef= 
tigating the accounts of the deouty cénftable, it’ 
40 to 1, that the 
right of eleéting the depu®™ confable for the 
town, is and has been inherent in the leet, for - 
the term of z50 years paft (unlefs the confta- 
bies fhali agree to gay the deputies thémfelves)s 
that the late conftable (Mr Stock) had been 
appointed and fwoin to the office, with the 
ufual falary and perquifites (1g§ol. a year, anda 
houfe ‘to live in) ; that the conftables had perti- 
nacioufly refufed to acknowledge the late de- 
puty, and had perfifted to emp'oy Mr. Unite, 
who ftood charged with committing the moft 
flagrant acts of peculation and eppreffion; that 
if the right of election really lay with the con- 
tables, it was their duty to have vindicated 
Mr. Unite from the charges alledged againg& 
him, before they had again employed him ; 
that as Mr. Unite had made no attempts to ex- 
culpate himtel‘, salthough he- neither wanted 
time, abilitics, nor moncy for this purpofe, the 
prefumption of guilt of courfe attached to his 
conduét; and, finally, that the fum of 37. 
tos. ftated to have been paidto Mr. Unite, be 
not allowed, and be erazed from the conftable’s 
accompts. When the officers retired with their 
books, which was rather precipitately, the ins 
dignation of the meeting (by far the largeit and 
molt refpeciable tuat had ever affembied before 
on fuca an occafion) was exprefied by hiffes and 
groans. The enormeus leys and expenditures 
of the tuwnfhip have been long a- fubject of 
complaint ; ano, together with the erueltics of 
the parifh officers, in providing forthe mainte- 
nance of the offspring of the poor, have been 
lately poind out, in an inteyefting pamphlet, 
by Mr Barty*, 
‘Lhree hres broke out, lately, at Manchefter, 
ithin the fpace of a fortnight; ;im one of 
which; an extenfive factory, which gave em- 
pioyment to feveral hundred hands, was en- 
tiiely cefiroyed, including ali its valuable ma- 
chinery. ‘ 
‘The canal frona Manchefter to Stockport was 
lately opened ; as was alioy fome time before,~ 
the canal from Manchefter to Afhton, and an@ 
other from Manchefter to Bolton. So general is- 
the ipirit of cuiting canals in this quarter, that 
all the principal towns wll probably be vifited 
by water, in the courfe of a few years. 
’ Three quarts of currants, equally fit fer nfe, 
and oftas fine a flavour as thofe pulled in the 
proper feaion, were gathered lately in a garden 
near Northwich. 
A correfpondent of Mr. Birtincr’s Liver- 
& va 
a 

Myr, Unite has been offered ‘i00;. by a 
fociety to which he belongs, to enable him te 
p-oiccute Mr, Batty, author of the abo. e-men- 
tioned publication, but has conftantly declined 
making ule of the offer. vial
