*In the case of those occupiers who gave out work of more than one of the classes specified in Column 1, and subdivided their lists in such a way as to show the
number of workers in each class of work, the list has been included among those in column 2 (or 5 as the case may be) against the principal class only, but the
outworkers have been assigned in columns 3 and 4 (or 6 and 7) into their respective classes.
