§ Lord HENRY CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked whether, in the Pwllheli workhouse, there are seventy-nine inmates including twenty-nine children, also vagrants to the amount of about one hundred a month; whether there are only three attendants at this workhouse; if so, whether he has satisfied himself that under the circumstances the children are properly attended to; and what steps he is prepared to take to enforce a more humane administration on the guardians?
§ Mr. BURNSI have recently received a special report from one of my inspectors with regard to this workhouse giving me the facts generally as stated in the question. I understand that the guardians have recently appointed a boarding-out committee to deal with as many children as possible, but the whole situation is engaging my attention, and I am in communication with the guardians respecting it.
