§ MR. MANSFIELDI beg to ask the Secretary to the Board of Education if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the managers of the West Horsley (Surrey) National School have dismissed the head master because he refused to 695 sign an agreement accepting the school-house as it stood, and promising not to require the managers to put it in good repair; and, if so, will he consider the advisability of issuing a circular requesting the local authorities to instruct their surveyors to report on the condition of each house before they accept any liability in connection therewith.
§ SIR WILLIAM ANSONMy attention has been drawn to the facts stated. I do not think that the local authorities need advice in a matter which concerns the ordinary relations of landlord and tenant.
