HC Deb 10 June 1873 vol 216 c795

Order for Second Reading, read.

MR. WHEELHOUSE,

in moving that the Bill be now read a second time, said, its object was to do for blind and deaf-mute children what the Education Act of two years ago did for the rest of the community.

MR. HIBBERT

opposed the Bill, as one that would burden the ratepayers with the expense of providing for the education of children whose parents were quite able to provide for such education themselves. This Bill was worse, instead of better, than its two predecessors.

Motion made, and Question, "That the Bill be now read a second time," put, and negatived.
