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.
