*Note.—For the purpose of this return, a “House” includes all the space within the external and
party walls of a building, although parts of the building may be separately entered in
the rate book by reason of their being separately occupied. Houses which are not in
any way used as dwellings are not included in column 2 of the return, and, consequently,
such buildings as warehouses, factories, and workshops are excluded from
that column unless they comprise a place of residence for a caretaker or other person.
