§ MR. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWEN (Kent, Tunbridge)I bog to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he has received a representation from the Vicar and Churchwardens of Mall-wyd, as Managers of the Mallwyd Church of England Schools, in the County of Merioneth, claiming that at the renewal of the agreement with the School Board they should be recognised as the only legal Managers of the school; and, if he has, what reply ho has given to the representation?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Mr. ACLAND,) York, W.R., RotherhamThe Rector of Mallwyd was informed by the Department on 9th June last that the arrangement for transfer of the school which had been approved by the Department was made in pursuance of a resolution duly passed by the Managers of the school as defined by Section 3 of the Education Act of 1870. A letter was subsequently received from the Rector and Churchwardens protesting against the recognition of any persons other than themselves as Managers, to which in view of the previous correspondence, which went fully into the matter, no further reply was considered necessary. I may add that the Department is not empowered to decide who are the legal Managers of any school.
