§ MR. DILLWYNsaid, he rose to call the attention of the House to certain inaccuracies which occurred in the Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of popular education. The returns of the Dissenters' schools were very incomplete, the Dissenters having—as he thought, unwisely—held back from giving the information required from them. The consequence was that the report did not set forth the real amount of education provided by Dissenters. He understood the Government did not object to the return he should move for, and he was informed that the Education Commissioners were willing to give it. He would, therefore, conclude by moving an address for a copy of the Report to the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of popular education by the committee appointed by them for the purpose of obtaining an enumeration of Dissenters' schools.
SIR GEORGE LEWISsaid, he did not object to the production of the Report, but he wished it to be understood that there had been no neglect on the part of the Commissioners. The principal inaccuracy arose from the omission of an explanatory note, the Commissioners being desirous of bringing their Report within moderate limits.
§ Motion agreed to.
