ITEETING OF THE LEEDS TCTVTN COUNCILSCENE EXTRAORDTNAR ^^ ^ On Wednesday last , a meeting of this body-was eonvened in the Council Room for the transaction of special business . In consequence of an article ¦ which appeared in the Intelligencer of last week , disputhig the legality of any meeting on account ot some informality on the part of the Mayor , in reference to the taking of an oath , considerable interest "was excited as to the manner in « Mch business would be transacted , and the consequence of this exatement was a fall room , both in the Conn nil and the Gallery . At a little after eleven o ' clock , Mr . Holdforth {¦ wearing the chain and © ccapying the Mayor ' s chair ) rose andsaid , thatott the 9 th of 2 * ov . he was . elected Major of-the borongfa by a
majority of voter in the Council . ( Hear , hear . ) Since that period some doubts had arisen in the minds of some gentlemen as to whether he -was qualified toliold that office , or whether he was disqnaliiied in consequence of having unintentionally tsinitted ^ Q take an oath . He considered it his duty as soon as he was aware of that impression to obtain-¦ withont delay , the best possible advice , and the lest legal opinion which he could collect , in reference to that impression . He went for that purpose ± o " London , with the Town Clerk , and Ms oto Solicitor , and he was very happy to say that the opinions lehad received from men of high legal
authoritymen standing high in reputation asmen of emineacp in their profession—and that that opinion did not leave thelfiass doubt as to the power which he held , and which the Conncil gave form on the 9 th . of 25 bv . last- ( Cheers . ) Therefore all subsequent proceedings were in perfect order , andhe believed perfectly legal .. Bat , that nothing might be kept private , — for he wished every thing to be done openly , he had confidence in saying , depending upon the opinions he had received , that all subsequent acts would be in perfect order and perfectly legal . Entertaining that opluion , therefore , he thought it right the Town Clerk shonld read the opinion he had received on lie case . ( Lend cheers . )
The lows Cijerk then read the opinion of Mr . Sergeant Merryweather , and Mr . T . Barnes , which was to the enect that the election of Alayar was valid , and that the Council might proceed to the election of Aldermen in the place of those who had refused to accept office . After this opinion had been read the Town CL-rk proceeded to read the minutes of fhepreceding Conncil meetiBg , when Mr . ATKXN 8 OX begged to ask by what authority fhat meeting- was called ? The Tows Clebk . —By the authority of fire members of the ConnciL Mr . Amsrow . ;—Had there been a refusal on the partof the Mayor to summon a Council meeting ?
T-jwh Ci £ RK--The Major had refused in his pre-Bence to call a meeting . - ; Mr . Atkixsoh then proceeded to say that with all fine deference to the opinions of thegenilemen whose authority had been quoted , he was of opinion that the office of Mayer was not legally held . In proof of fliat opinion he gnoted a . section of the - 10 th Geo . 4 , ( chap , not mentioned , ) by which it appeared that It was necessary for any Roman Catholic on entering into any office to take a certain oath , either at- the tnne oiiiis entering upon such office , or on that day month previously . It appeared that neither of these conditions had been complied with , and consequently Mr . Atkinson argued that , b y the provisions of the act last mentioned , the election -was null and void , sod the office was now to all intents and purposes vacant . The minutes of the Council which had Iwen read , informed them that on the 9 th of November , Mr . Holdforth was chosen as Mavor of this
Borough ; that he accepted office and signed the declaration and took the chair ; and therefore , lie supposed , there would be no question raised as to 3 dr . Alderman Holdforth ' * having taken office . He had now to ask the Town Clerk whether at the time of Mr . Holdforth's taking office , he had taken the < athrequiredbythelOthGeo . lv ? - Mr . Holdfobth thought it was not quite regular to ask . abstract questions in law individually of the Town Clerk , but that they should «> me collectively fonn the Conncil , and this wonld require a motionto that effect . If the Conncil were of opinion that the Town Gierk should answer difficult questions in law , their opinion would be expressed by a notion . And if There were amajorityin favour of that motion , the Town Clerk would be bound to give his opinion to the best of Ms knowledge . If not , he thought it -would be the duty of the Town Clerk to remain filent . ( Hear , hear . ) They -were not met there to discuss difficult questions in law . ( Hear , hear . )
Mr . Atktsson wished tqknowif that was the first instance wherein a question had been asked of the Town Clerk ? ( No , no . ) Be { Mr . Atkinson ) understood that the Town Clerk was there to see that aB things were done in order , and he thought there needed no motion to ask for his opinion on a point which merely related to the order and regularity of their proceedings . ( Hear , hear . ) It was because he wished the law of the land to be observed and administered that he now asked fly * question . Mr . Baker rose to order . That meeting was legally called 5 and if there was any doubt about
the legality of the procedure by which the office of Mayor was held , that was not the place to raise such doubt . " jfHeajrJbear , hear . ) He begged the attention of ttoiXjoncil to the facts of the case , and not to the gpecSi ^ leading of some gentlemen of the Council . TThTm ayorwas before them in the chair , the meeting had been regularly called ; there were several notices of bujdness on the paper , and they were called there for the transaction of business , and ¦ fiie went of order and form of which he complained "was that the gentlemen on Ms left were forsaking the business of the meeting for a question which they ^ a ? a . Council , were not competent to decide . ^—< Qhe <> rs . )
Mr . Atkissox thought that Mr . Baker's obser-¦» aUons went to prove that , if , the mer&bers of the Council were got togeffierf in" any ^ way , no * matter how , zai the Mayor in-the chair , there was no necessity for mquiring -whether « ici » "meeting was legal or " not .- Hcl then * pmntedVont therprovisions of thelaw for calling a meeting '• ofifltfiL-X ! onncfiV by which it is necessary that every meeting should- be caBed by the Mayor , or -by . jwe-members « f th& Conncil , on the refusal of the Mayor ip call such , meeting . Hut , he argued" that there was no Mayor to Tefnie ; the request- of anyfive members of the
Council ; therefore thatmefitmgconld'nolbelegally convened . He fceggedi Ifcerefijre , on behalf of himself , and fiie gentlemen around him , distinctly to protest against the legality of the meeting . { Hear .. ; * lr . Atkinson then referred again to the section in flie 19 th Geo . IV ., and aAed whether that clause " hich -was « jnsidered as one of the safeguards of « ia consdtntion , was to be set asde , and whether « eI was ojor of . ord ^ r when he asked if its provisions «> d _ been icospplied ¦ - withv ¦ -- ¦ ( Hear , hear . ) For his Jtort ie innsfrsaj that he never knew a more uenberaw attempt to smother a question " than sow

^ p ^ ared manifest in Council . ( Great confusion , mingled with eheers and hi . * se * . ) Did those gentlemen whs had given the opinion that hiwl been read , bold for a moinent that that provision had been complied witk . He beggM-the Council might be favonredwidi £ he case upon which that opinion wns given , as they were nil aware that it was an . easy thing to obtain a favourable opinion if a case wa » skflmliy stated . He beggwi . therefore , to have the case read , that they might know whether or not those gentlemen who had given so favourable an opinion were aware of all the facts of the case . Seme opposition here arose as to the reading of the case , when Mr . Alderman Tottie rose and said that the Town Clerk . was certainly bound to answer ant " Tf ^ nT ifTriVTr 11 iW VW \ 1
legal question relative to the business of their meetings ; andhe entirely concurred in the view of Mr . Atkinson , that when an opinion was' read the case should be read also , on which such opinion was founded . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) He agreed also with Mr . Atkinson , when he sUted that every thing that was done ought to be done in broad daylight , and therefore he said , read the caw , and let the Town Clerk state all the facts connected with it , and the opinion too . ¦ _ He thonghtitnecessary that the public shonld see how the matter stood , for if the Mayor was illegally elected , that illegal election . involved -serious consequences , and he need not further tell them that all their subsequent acts would be illegal . ( Hear , hear . )
Mr . HptnFDRTH had no view ox intention whatever in keeping back the case ; let the case and the opinion both be read , and they would then have an opportunity of judging-foT themselves -whether \ he case had been ingeniously represented , or whether it had been fairly , openly , candidly , and cimply represented . ( Hear , hear- ) All he meant 10 be inferred when he spoke of the Town Clerk not being required to answer abstract question * in reference to this case might be ]) Ut , and onght to be answered by the Tewn Clerk ; but he did not think they were in order to go into legal dL-quisitions .
Mr . ATXTNBOK .-aii that his question was merely a ^ aes don as to a matter of tact , and not one iuvolving _ any abstract legal question . He begged , then , again to ask whether the provision of the section before referred to in the 10 th of Geo . 4 th had been complied with ? - The Towk Clebx then stated that Mr . Holdforth had not taken the oath as required by that section , but that he had taken it on the 16 th insranr , and h had no doubt whatever that the office was held ¦ invalid authority . J Mr . Atkissos said his question was , whether Mr . Holdforth had takrn that oath one month previous to the 9 th of November . Mr . G . &UKT said the Town Clerk was as much the servant of the Mayor as of the Council , and he thought he was under no necessity to communicate any information that mi * ht have a tendency to commit his Worshi p . ( Mnch laughter . )
Mr . Baker disclaimed the accusation of wanting to ignother the question ; but they had the Mavi > r before them , and—[ with great " warmnessl—iuy doubt of the legality of ihe Mayor ' s election onght not and should not be entertained . ( Cheer * mid laughter . ) It it were the iuteution of that Conncil to degrade the gentlrninn who sat there —[ pointing toMr . Holuforthl —( great confusioi ; , cheering , aim hissing . ) He » tiB maintained the- position he held before , that they had no right to doubt the legality of the Mayor ' s election ; and that if they were uispixed to doubt it , the only place in which that Uouht could be entertained was in the Court of Queen ' s Bench . He , therefore , thought that they ought to proceed to business . Alderman Wiluajjsos moved that the case V read .
Mr . Johk Howard thought it was out of order . . Alderman Wiluamsw . v thought it would expedite their business if me case and the opinion w « re read . The Tows Clerk then read the case and opinion —the case being pretty much the sam « as appeared in fhe Intelli gencer of last week . The Town Clerk also stated that Alderman Holdforth had taken the requisite oath on two aitfereut occasions , apart from the present , once on his being made a magistrate , and once on his becoming a member of that Council also on the 16 th instant ; and it was , therefore !
manifest that the omission was a mere inadvi-rtency , and did not arise from any indisposition on the partof Mr . Holdforth to take the oath . He also further , stated that even the notic-pappr of that meeting was submitted to the inspection of Mr SergeantMenr ^ eather-andhe ( theTown Clerk ) was perfectly satisfied of the legality of thrir meeting . Mr . vATKixsON objected that the case upon which Serjeant Merryweather and Mr . Baines had grounded their opinion as a precedent was not by any mean * a ^> arall-l case to this ; « nd the te rms of the section mentioned in the 10 th Geo . IV . were so stringenr that they could not be evaded .
Mr . HtTBBARDin a ro-ind-about way strongly recommended the Couucil to proceed to ' the order of th « day . The question before the Conncil seemed at present to be simply whe'her Mes . * . Merry weather and Baines , or Mr . Atkinson was right in their legal opinions . ( Hear , hear , and cries olno , no . ) Air . Joshua Bower with his usaal aud laudable anxiety for saving pounds , shillings , and pence , begged to know whether the drawing up of the case , and the obtaining of the opinion , were to be paid tcr out of the Borough Fundr Because ii they were , he thought the Council had a right to debate about it as long as they liked . On being answered in the negative , he observed that it was useless to spend the time of the Council with such trifling matters . ( Cheers and langhter . )
Mr . Gaust said that > iLCe ihe opposite side of the house had been favoured « . ith the case and opinion which was the cause of the present tiebate , he thought it wasbut right that they should be favoureo with a hearing of thu ca « e that had been sent to Sir William Follett ; he dared them to produce it . ( Hear , "h ear , and laughter . ) Mr . Atkixsox said it was an extremely fortunate thing for him that the challenge would hrt-ak nobonea so far as he was concerned . All that he knew about it was , that on Saturday last , when he received the weeklynewspaper , he was tirst informed of the matter . Bnt subsequently he heard that a case had been prepared , and sent Tap to l « ondon a week before ; bnt on asking what was the answer , he was informed that no answer had been received , and he knew nothing further about it .
. Mr . Gaust . —Wonld Mr . Atk'nson a 3 k Mr . Bond who was sitting behind him ? ( Loud cries of ki No , no , no . and great confusion . ) Mr . Atkixsojj thought it was very much out of order to propose asking a gentleman who sat in the gallery , merely as a witness of their proceedings , to fumisn any information on such a matter . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) A long debate then ensued on the 27 th Section of the Municipal Act , by which it appears that any meeting for filling up extraordinary vacancies inkst be called by the Mayor , and by no other authority Bujit had been acknowledged that that meeting wa * not called by the May 01 but by five members ot the Councils Therefore they could not legally elect
three Alderman , as was stated on the notice paper , to be one of the purposes of the meeting . This objectioB , however , was overruled , and three gentlemen were chosen as Aidennenr- Mr . John Goodman , Mr . Thomas Hebden , and Mr . Obadiah Wiilans . The Tories refused to vote at all , and Mr . Atkinson on behalf of himself and the gentlemen around him entered two distinct protest * , one against the legality of the meeting , and another against the legality of the election of the three Aldermes . He moved that these protests be entered on the Minute Book of the Conncil , but thv motion was negatived by a majority of 36 to 20 . This business being ended the report of the Finance Committee was read , and the sum £ 1443 13 s . lid . minus ; £ 12 18 si 3 J . for fixing up the portrait of the first Mayor , was ordered to be paid .
Some other business was transacted , but it was not of much public interest .

, Wednesday night , and subsequentl y had the modesty to usk each magistrate separattl y , to swear in special constables , for the suppression of the tumult which he intended to caui < e . This was of coarse rt-fused , the magistrates not seeing wtiy they should put the town to a considerable expense , merely to hel p Mr . Acland to make a night ' s yiage in Huddersfield , when he was qniteat liberty tomaketone ar . ywhere else . Acland ; was exceeding wroth , and forthwith put out another announcemtnt that h > lecture could not take place , rating the magistrates in good set terms , accusing them of ignorance , and their proceeding in regard te him as illegal . This gentleman thought fit to introduce himself first to the people ol Hudder . ^ field as a lecturer on
temperance . We understand that this is his usual practice , and that a considerable share of prejudice has bfen excited amongst the unreflecting against the remperanee cause , because of his connection with it .

of LangfieW , in wbjcb the ? Ybrksbire part of the "M' ^ iPf Todmotd eH is ; -sittiatf , ^ was , some weets paar ^ cbnvicted by the Halifax magistratta in the penalty , of JSye ^ oands and expenses , for refusing C y the money demanded by the Ctuardiausy and a wfTT * Pt of distress was issned accordingly . But 8 is [ no officer ' connected with the Townshi p could be prevailed on , either by bribes , threats , or jtetse cjm // o « s , to undtrt « ke the execution of the warrant , Mo official bravadoes from Halifax made their appearance in the Manfcinholes , the residence of the Overseer , oa last ^ ThBrsday week , and marked a quantity of valuable furniture , leaving a Bchedule , which stated that unless the fine and expenses wire within
paid fivedaysyt \ ie goods would besattl ; hut as will appear in the sequel , this proved : altogether a mistake . Tuesday last , being the fifth day , a great number of but / ers were- ' -in attendancey not only from Langfield y bat from other surrounding townships , but no Sale was attemptvd ; neither auctioneer nor constable made their appearance . On Wednesday , a stil | greater crowd of customers attended , hh ' d , many pf them being afraid of missing agoodiargain , were on the Spot at an early hour in the morning . ' j but , after waiting until dark , they were again doomed to ue disappointed . The sixth day having now passed over , all parties considered that no attempt either to sell or remove the goods would be made ;
but on Friday week , being the eighth day from the date of the schedulr , a party from Halifax , among whom were the two valiants who paid the former visit , and attended by a horue and cart , were ' -discovered proceeding towards the Overseer ' s house . It being then only about three o ' clock in the afternoon , the inhabitants in the neighbourhood happened to be " wide awake , '' The alarm spread like wild tire , and in tittle more than half an hourV there could not be fewer than one thousand buyers assembled . Our tu'j heroes before-mentioned were the only- persons of the gang of sellers tb . at went into the house , the remainder , we guppoVe , had , with the Lynsege pef-uliar to . the craft , observe /
the " signs of the times ^ " arid decamped . These two ganders ( for 1 had they been geese { they would have possessed more instinct to " provide for their own safety ) had now fairly rnn themselves among the foxes , and perceiving when it was too late , that they were about to be > ptwked , the taller of the two , whoft 5 name is said to be Feathers , and who ranks high asan officer in the Halifax force , went down upon his bare knees before the assembled multitude , and bis example being followed by his companion , they both begged rhostpiteously to have their lives spared , ! and , as a proof of their " sincerity , ibey called for a book to be sword , ( whether the Bible or the Alcoran would not have been material ,
so anxious were they to he sworn , and consequentl y believed ) that they would neter again be ehgajied upb ' n any similar occa > ion . The cart which they had brougbt with them , and which was nearly new , «»« broken to pieces , and a fire being kindled , the fragments were burnt to ashpg . Theharnesw , which was also new was cut from the horoe , and divided Into hundreds of pieces among the buyers . Before reaching the turnpike road , on their way towards home , these two n-. ble specimens of tbe feathered tribe were effectually plucked ' , and this now most distinguished number of the Halifax force having arrived in a state of nudity at the Wood-mill ^ he was himself forced into the house of one Oliver , —a
relation , we believe , of our old acquaintance , Jeremiah , of Buck-hunting notoriety , —the buyers who had -accompanied him thither declaring , that he was now fit to he . received by bis friends . After having done some good service for the glazier , the buyers next turned their attention to the opposite side of the way , where their guardian angels ( although i . t is doubtful whether some of them may not prove ere" long to be fallen ones ) were then sitting in hish conclave , dispensing their benign influence to poor earthly mortals . Not wishing to be polluted bv mortal' touch , this batch of political demi-gnds fled as if the warning had been sent amongst thtm hy a thdnder-bolt , hurled bv the united torce of their
-toasters ,, the Somerset House Triad . Amongst this august assembly , there happened to be a poor , nerveless , short-sighted tailor , who had dropped in , but how , and far what purpose , nobody can form a conjecture , for we have never heard of any knight of the thimblu having been elected by the people * This poor deluded fraction of humanity , ( for , according to ¦ an old saying , it taken nine tailors to make a mari . ) if ' report tell true , was found , after a diligent search , in the cellar , safely burrowed under a brewing-tub , but in a s ad state of fear and trembling ; and , if the piihljc rumour bflieth him not , there was a peculiar effluvia exhaled from his person , which acted powerlu ' lly . on the olfactory nerves , and which could only be removed by reppated ablutions . How fear could
operate upon ; this tailor , fo as to cause so srrange a phenomenon we are not sufficiently skilled to tell , but no doubt ic is a circumstance that can be accounted for by the Doctor that was in attendance . A a soon as this poor fellow could be convinced that present danger was over , he was placed upon the hack of a horse , and sped as fast as four better , leps than his own could carry him along the eand bairk , to .-seek shelter and walernul protection in the Had of hU forefathers . This is the same personagewho
, , before he became invested in the wig of a jastass , it was considered expedient , and was in contemplation , to hr . vo placed occasioiially upon the top ot ' thRfteeple , to discover which way the stroijgest political current was blowing , aR he had long been observed to possess the peculiar propensity of always standing with his face towards it ; but now the wig is supposed ro be so heavy that it prevents his movini ; upon the pivot upon which he was wont to be so easily turned . Thus ended the thirdlesson .
The Fourth Lesson . —A very serious display of popular feeling and resentment against the Ntw Poor Law , rook place at Todtnorderi aud the neigbhaurhood , un Wednesday la ^ t . When the postman arrived in the morning from Halifax , intelligence was received thar . the Halifax police , accompanied by a numerous body of soldiers , were preparing to set out towards Mankinhole .- - , for the purpose ot taking away the furniture of Wm . . Ingham- ^ the overseer ot Langfield , which had been ' marked ' under a warrant of distress for disobeying the orders of the Guardian . " . A messenger also arrived in Mankinholes early in the forenoon , to say , that the party han arrived at Wood-mill . On hearing this , vast ber of
a num people assembled in Mankinholes , hut . finding all quiet there , they proceeded to Woodmill , armed with staves , clubs , and s ^ uch other weapons as they could procure . On arriving at Woodmill , not . rinding the party-which they expected to have met , they immediately proceeded to demolish the windows , &c . of Royston and Saml . Oliver two advocates of the New Poor Law—the former being a Guardian . After this , they t > et off towards lodHiordttn , through which they past on their way toDuelsgate , where having arrived , they destroyed the windows ,, doors , and furniture of Wjn . Helliwell , a Guardian , and also those of Messrs . Green wood and Ormrod , all of whom are strenuous supporters of the
obnoxious law . The crowd now returned fo Todinorden , and having broken the windows of Ann Holt , they went to the house bf Jeremiah Oliver , the windows , doors , and furniture of which they effectually destroyed . Their proceedings were next directed to Toimorden Hall , the residence ef Mr . James Taylor , ane . wly-made Whig magistrkte , and an ex qfficio Guardian and chairman of the Board : here the wcrk of destruction was iu the extreme ; the windows and doors were destroyed on everjr side of this extensive build ng ; the superb furniture broken to pieces ; the valuable paintings and family portraits torn :. nd burnr , and the house sec on fire , but happily , soon extinguishwi : the
carnage also was completely demolished . Having effected their work at the Lai I , the assembled hundreds next attacked the house of Mr . iames Suthers , a collector of rates under the Guardians , whose Windows , &c . shared the same fate . Hare-hill , the residence of Mr . James Greenwood , brother to the Messrs , Greenwood of Duelsgare , was the next in torn : here , after the doors and windows were destroyed , the house was set on fire : the fire engine b ; longing to Messrs . Fieldens was dispak-hed towards the place , but the fire was extinguished before its arrival . The windows in the prrice of Mr . James Stansfield , clerk to the Board of Guardians , in Ymk-street , were niext destroyed ; as were aisVv those of Mr . Henry Atkinsona reported Poor
, Law acvocate . ihe multitude were theq moving off towards Lowerlaith and Millvvpod , the repidence of Mr . Wm . Sutdiffe and Mr . John rlill , with the intention of effecting their demolition ajso ^ when . an individual , mi > de ; his ' way amongst them , and after representing to them the ill » gklity and the folly of th « course they were pursuing , prevailed , on them ro desistj and itt '; &ifew ' : ' mifi ute */ the .. crowd- ' ^ wpi 8 r 8 ed .-This was about half-past six o ' clock . No personal violence had in any instance been attempted . In about an . hour after the people had separated a bodot from
strong y cavalry . flnrnley , froin pbe to two hundred we believ « y entered the villiage which wert' some time after followed by upwards 'bf : one hun ; red foot soldiers from the same place ; What causrd a stronger excitement among the populace ; was the circuniRtance of nearl y every tradesman and householder in the tpwnshi p haTing that day and the day before received- Rummonsea to attend a special ; meeting of the magistrates to be sworn as 1 "R ?^! constable ^ but for what purppse no one can conjecture .
