Exchange was an electoral division of Manchester City Council which was represented from 1838 until 1950. It covered part of Manchester city centre including Exchange Square and Market Street.

Overview

Exchange ward was one of the fifteen municipal wards created in 1838,^[1] when the Manchester Borough Council was granted a Charter of Incorporation under the provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835.^[2]

Initially, the ward's boundaries corresponded with those of Districts No.6 (Exchange) and No.12 (St. Mary's) of the Manchester Township, which covered the area around Market Street in Manchester city centre. Its original boundaries remained in place until 1919^[3] when that part of the ward to the south of St. Mary's Gate was transferred to the St. Ann's ward, and a part of the Collegiate Church ward around Smithfield Market Hall was transferred to Exchange. In 1950, the ward was abolished, and its area became part of the new St. Peter's ward.^[4]

From 1838 until 1885, the ward formed part of the Manchester Parliamentary constituency. From 1885 until 1918, it was part of the Manchester North West Parliamentary constituency.^[5] From 1918 until its abolition, it was part of the Manchester Exchange Parliamentary constituency.^[6]

↑ The citation of this Act by this short title was authorised by section 2 of, and the First Schedule to, the Municipal Corporations (New Charters) Act 1877 (40 & 41 Vict c 69). The Municipal Corporations (New Charters) Act 1877 was repealed by the Municipal Corporations Act 1882. As to the continued use of this short title, see section 19(2) of the Interpretation Act 1978. Section 243 of the Municipal Corporations Act 1882 made provision as to the continued use of certain short titles mentioned in First Schedule to that Act. The said section 243 was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1898. The Bill for the Statute Law Revision Act 1898 says the reason for the repeal of the said section 243 was: "As to s. 243 so much of the First Schedule as gives short titles not otherwise given is proposed for repeal". The Bill then says that reason for the repeal of the entries in Part II of the First Schedule to Municipal Corporations Act 1882 (which does not mention the short title of Municipal Corporations Act 1835) specified by column 2 of the Bill was "Sched. I., Pt. II. . . . as to parts in col. 2 the enactments referred to have been repealed by subsequent Acts except 40 & 41 Vict. c. 47 in Sched. I., Pt. II., which is proposed for repeal by the Bill"; and that Part I of the First Schedule (wherein the short title of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 was mentioned) was repealed because it was "spent". As to the construction of references to the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, see sections 7(1) and 242 of, and the Ninth Schedule to, the Municipal Corporations Act 1882, and formerly section 191 of that Act (the said section 191 was repealed by the Police Act 1964).
