§ MR. HARRINGTONasked the Vice President of the Committee of Council, Whether application was made to the Education Department on behalf of the Catholics of Risca and Pontymister in Monmouth, for a grant in aid of the school at Pontymister, in charge of the Catholic pastor of the district; and, whether the application was complied with; and, if not, whether he will state the reasons?
§ MR. MUNDELLAAn application was made such as that described. The School Board objected, on the ground that the school accommodation was already provided, and the Department found itself unable to overrule the opinion of the Board; but a communication has been addressed to them for further information on the subject.
