Full particulars concerning these 112 Workshops have been
entered up in the Register, and it is found that there are connected
therewith 147 workrooms, in which were working at the
time of inspection 402 persons—63 males and 339 females
(females alone being employed in 80 workshops).
Notices as to the "protected persons" (i.e., children, young
persons, and women) employed were sent on to the Factory
Inspectors, from time to time, as required (i.e., where no Abstract
under the Act was found to have been posted up in a workplace).

1886-1890 respectively.
17 written Notices have been received during 1906 by the
Borough Council from the Factory Inspectors with reference to
contraventions of the Public Health Acts in connection with
Factories and Workshops, and all such nuisances have been
abated, and due notice sent to the Factory Inspectors within one
month as to action taken in each case. The number of notices
received in 1905, 1904, 1903, 1902 and 1901, were 9, 10, 9, 5
