Anyone here can give me an explanation about this better? I've read some stuff about how horrible working conditions were based upon childrens "testimonies" except I've also read tid bits saying the opposite.

 

Anyone know where I can get some better info on this from both sides. I even read an Engels quote bashing Sadler so I'm interested in the classical liberal point of view.

LeFevre covers this in his commentaries on the industrial revolution - which you will find in the media section. Basically his position is that the Sadler report was a smear campaign and that it was subsequently refuted by a royal investigation.
