* 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 outworkers 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.
