LOCKWOOD.

The Incorporation Movement.

We understand that the meeting to oppose the incorporation with Huddersfield, mentioned in our impression of last week, has been delayed in consequence of the churchwardens of Emanuel Church and the overseers of the poor refusing to call the meeting. A correspondent says the requisition contains nearly 200 signatures, and represents between £4,000 and £5,000 of rateable value. The meeting is now called by the churchwardens of St. Stephen's and the constable.
