HC Deb 12 April 1864 vol 174 c915
MR. DILLWYN

rose to call attention to the insufficiency of the accommodation at present provided for Patents and Models of Inventions in the Museum at South Kensington. He said it was of the greatest importance that those who had invented machinery should have a ready means of seeing what had been already done in the same way. The present Museum of Patents was quite inadequate for the purpose, and, in fact, had been originally intended to be only temporary.

Notice taken, that 40 Members were not present;—Committee counted, and 40 Members not being present,

House adjourned at Eight o'clock.
