§ Mr. MASTERMANNo, Sir; the Commissioners have not refused. They have supplied every approved society with statements showing the number of its members resident in each area, the number of representatives which the society is entitled to appoint, and the number of places on the committee to be 383W filled by election. The Commissioners have also supplied each society with a list, which has been laid on the Table of the House, showing, as regards each committee area, the membership of every society having members resident therein.
