And we further affirm that a universal system of free, compulsory, unsectarian education controlled by Authorities popularly elected directly for that purpose be established throughout the Kingdom, and that copies of this resolution be sent to Sir John Gorst, M.P., Mr Thomas Ellis, M. P., and the three members for the county." A resolution was passed, on the motion of the Rev H. Davies, seconded by the Rev J. E.
