as It regarded the relation of Landlord and Tenant. The Noble
Lord stated, that the object of the Bill gas the extension of the
principle by which that law had been amended in the year 1796,
when a Bill was passo in the Irish House of Commas, which
gave the landlord a remedy against absconding tenants by whom
a ye'ar's rent was due, and who left so consideration for it on the
premises, and also against tenants overloading after the expira-
tion of their terms. Before the passing of that Bill, the land-
lotd was under the necessity of seeking redress from the
Judges Of Assize, which be could not obtain but twice a year,
ind at a very beavy expense, sometimes amounting .to £5O.
But the Bill enabled the assistant Banisters of Counties to try
the cause at a limited expense, which was not in any QM is ex-
ceed £5. The provisions of it, however, were limited to tene-
ments under t2O yearly Cent; and the ,present Bill was intended
to extend its beneficial operation to tenements under the yearly
rent of £5O. His Lordship then, in order to the* pow effica-
cious and useful, the principle was, read a Return' from the
Clerk of the Peace, for the last eleven months, whereby it ap-

bring forward his oimi 111101606 grfAt. An Hon.
Friend of his (Mr. Hume) bold accoceinodated him in
a similar way. The subsea be intended to lay be- •
fore the House was one of the utmost importance; be
Lad been three entire days in preparin it;' and Wire
missed the present opportunity, be rni it not be able
to bring it on.at all; for lasf_earecipt?
that, during
the whole of next week, or perhaps during the re.
mainder of the Session, his time would be occupied
in the other House of Parliament, on the subjact of
a Bill intended to be brought forward there.
Mr. DALY and Mr. CnirrWiND consented to waive
their motions.
Mr. BROUGHAM then thanked the two Hoe.
Gentlemen, and said he should at once enter upon
the ',abject of his intended motion, which he con-,
eeived to-be superior in importance io all others.--
For although there were matters now before Parlia-
ment which excited universal interest for the mo-
ment, yet, long after these should be torgotien, the
benefits which he was about to put it in the power of
Parliament to confer on the nation, would be felt is
the greatest that ever were bestowed on mankind...—.
He therefore hoped, that instead of meetingwith
any interruption, the'Hotise would assist him in ef-
fecting this most important work. Two years had
now elapsed since the inquiry on this subject was en-
tered into ; and during that time it had been carried
on with more or less success. In the course of the
inquiry, a great mass of statistical information had
been produced, such indeed-as bad never before
been known ; for instead of those dry enumerations
of which the labiiurs of former statistics consisted, a
vast body of moral information was obtained. He
should take this opportunity of expressing his appro-
bation and thanks tor the conduct of the Clergy of
the Established Church, in assisting this inquiry ; for
they had manifested the utmost degree of zeal, hcs.
nesty, and ability, in performing the duties imposed
on them. It was eJe.to those Reverend Gentlemen
to inform the House how they had done that duty,
and the claims they had on the gratitude of the House,
A circular note was first addressed to all the Clergy
of the kingdom, requiring them to give all the in-
formation they could procure respecting the state of
education ; and w:thin the fit st o eek offer the circa.
lar was issued, upwards of 600 Clergymen ser.t in
their statements, in the most satisfactory manner.—
Shortly after upwards Of 2000 statements were sent;
and out of 11,400 Clergymen, there were only 6C.,0
who were deficient in ccunplying with the circular
letter. This was the best 'moot he could give of the
attentiveness-which the great body of the Clergy paid
to this subject. But this was not all—it happened
that 960 returns were missing ; they had not come
to him, but to another Gentleman; and as it was
supposed that those 960 Clergymen had neglected to
comply with the directions given them, a second ap-
plication eras made, rather in i sharp manner; and
the House might form some idea of the Christian
meekness of those Gentlemen, when he stated, that
only two of them. murmured at this second applica-
tion, which was made somewhat in the shape of a
reprimand. This was a most valuable fact in the
present case; for it was a proof of the extreme good-
will which the Clergy of England bore towards the
education of the poor, for in numberless cases they
expressed an anxiety to know how they ci.U.d be
useful; and the statements they all sent- were full,
chock and satisfactory. The Clergymen he now al.
laded to were not the dignitaries of the Churclf, nor
non-resident Rectors, but the working Parish Priests,
whose wages were the smallest, and whose labour
was the hardest. These were the men who spent
their money and devoted their time to the promotion
of this most useful objets. The result of all this Was,
that the digest was prepared, and was in the hands of
the Members of that House. It was on the infot motion
before the House, which exhibited the state of educa-
tion all over the kingdom, that his plan was founded.
The late Mr. Whitbread had once proposed a plan
for the education of the poor; but he was answered
by Mr. Percival, who very properly said, that the
first thing which ought to be done was, to institute
an inquiry. This was highly proper; because, with-
out the ioforminion obtained by such inquiry, no plan
could be perfect. In order to shew how necessary it
was to have a previous inquiry, he would give an in.
stance of the state of ignorence, on the subject of
education, which prevailed before the information
then on the table was procured. Here the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman quoted some calculations made
by Dr. Colquhoun, which proved to be altogether
untrue and absurd, for that Gentleman talked of two
millions of poor children in the country. There was
no such number—for at that rate our .po-pulatien
must be more than twenty millions. Mr. Brougham
'quoted another passage, to shew the great degree of
ignorance which this Gentleman laboured mle: oa
many other statistical subjects. He should nct now
use the phrase " lower orders," not out of any defer-
euce to those agitators who pretended to be theii ad.
vocates, for if the mass of the people were to be di.
rected by these persons they would be very low ifs-
deed—Wear, hear). _ For the sake of distinction
merely he should say " the poor." It bad been, and
still might be alleged, that 'education could do ro
rto the poor. This doctrine he would eaeleavOur
i);lerturn. He should first shew what opinions
were entertained on this subject in times and in
countries, in which neither liberty nor liberality, f
•
sentiment might be supposed to,exist. In the year
1550, the States-General of France petitioned the
King of that country to send to them an order that
they might register the project of A law for ,ou..
nishing all parents who did not send their children
to school. At the end of the same century, sicailor
orders *ere given in other countries of Europe, At
very remote periods the lags of Scotlasd gale per.
ticular encouragement so the education of the poor ;
he had seen a charter of David the First to thoSellses.
