* 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.
† The figures 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 outworkers in those lists.
