If an occupier gives out work 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 the lists received from those employers who comply strictly with the statutory
duty of sending two lists each year and of the entries of names of out- workers in those lists. The entries in column 2 must necessarily be even
numbers, as there will be two lists for each employer. The figures in columns 3 and 4 will usually be (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.
