CHAPTER X.

EDUCATION OF CHILDREN IN EMPLOYMENT.

IN the Coal Mines Regulation Act, 1872 (ss. 8-10), and in the Factory and Workshop Act, 1878 (ss. 23—26), are sections dealing with the education of children. Appended are the chief sections of the Elementary Education Act, 1870 (33 & 34 Vict. c. 75), and the amending Acts relative to the education of children in employment. Some of these Acts are, apparently, not consistent; and in Bury v. Cherryholme, L. R. 1 Ex. D. 457, the question arose which of the Acts was to be followed. In that case the facts were these :-the respondent's child was employed in a workshop at Barnsley, and attended a school pursuant to the provisions of the Workshop Regulation Act, 1867, s. 14, which enacted that every child" employed in a workshop shall attend school for at least ten hours in every week." The School Board of Barnsley made bye-laws, by which all children were required to attend school, "the whole time that the school shall be open for the instruction of children of the same sex, age, and class." The Exchequer Division held that the two statutes could be read together. "The result is that the School Board may determine the time during which a child employed in a workshop shall attend school, provided the time fixed on is not less than ten hours a-week; but a bye-law that a child should attend school during only nine hours in the week would be void, as being against the provisions of the Workshop Act of 1867," Bramwell, B. The case was not argued for the respondent; and the decision is not in harmony with the subsequent case of Mellor v. Denham, L. R. 4 Q. B.
