Owing to a variety of circumstances I will not go into the question of the Corn-law, as that is settled but owing to a variety of circumstances, from 1838 to 1842 there was a continued sinking in the condition of Stockport its property depreciated to a lamentable extent. One man left property, as he thought, worth 80,000l. or 90,000l. Within two years it sold for little more than 30,000l.
There was New Mills, there was Stockport, there in the far distance was Manchester. The boy stood a moment poised between the two worlds, his ash-stick in his hand, the old coat wound round his arm.

One of Metcalf's daughters became married to a person engaged in the cotton business at Stockport, and, as that trade was then very brisk, Metcalf himself commenced it in a small way.
The inspector had instituted a brewery in the house for his own benefit. In Stockport, July 31st, 1844, a man, seventy-two years old, was brought before the Justice of the Peace for refusing to break stones, and insisting that, by reason of his age and a stiff knee, he was unfit for his work.
