PREFACE. --e-- THE Proprietors trust that the present~the Sixth-Edition of Kelly's Directory of the County of CHESHIRE may be found equal in accuracy to the previous ones. It comprises a general account of the County, with the Hundreds and Poor Law Unions, a sketch of its geological features, and a description of the Cathedral of Chester, and further all places in the County, alphabetically arranged, with lists of the Inhabitants, both Private Residents and those engaged in Commerce and Trade. Under each Parish the Division of the County (as formed under the provisions of the" Redistribution of Seats Act, 1885), the Hundred, Union, and County Court District, the Diocese, Arch­ deaconry and Rural Deanery are given, as also the College and University of every Beneficed Clergyman, as far as they can be ascertained, and the names of the Parish Clerks; and lists of the Farm Bailiffs of Gentlemen farming their own land have been added. The County Oouncil (formed under the" Local Government Act, 1888") is included, with the names and addresses of the members, and the changes made under the provisions of the "Local Government Act, 1894." The Manchester Ship Canal, of which a general description is given, is duly mentioned at the respective places through which it passes. · 'rhe Proprietors have again to return their thanks to those Clergymen, Magistrates' Clerks, Registrars, and other Gentlemen who may have assisted their Agents when collecting the information for the present Edition. ;If•• The Letters 8.0. and R.S.O. at the end of addresses in various parts of the book are abbreviations adopted by H. M. Post Office to represent Sub-Office and Railway Sub-Office; and if these initials, with the name of the County, are added to the addresses of letters in lieu of the usual name of Post Town, the delivery of such letters will be accelerated.
