* If an occupier gives outwork of more than one of the classes specified in column 1, and subdivides his list in such a way as to show the number of workers in each class of work,
the list should be included among those in column 2 (or 5 as the case may be) against the principal class only, but the outworkers should be assigned in columns 3 and 4 (or 6 and 7)
into their respective classes. A footnote should be added to show that this has been done.
+ The figures required in columns 2, 3 and 4 are the total number of lists (received from employers who sent them both in February and August as required by the Act) and
of the entries of names of outworkers in those lists. They will, therefore, usually be double of the number of such employers and (approximately) double of the number of
individual outworkers whose names are given, since in the February and August lists of the same employer the same outworker's name will often be repeated.
