carry out the duties devolving on the Sanitary Authority, so
as to prevent overcrowding of workrooms, and to enforce
cleanliness and ventilation, and so as to secure freedom from
effluvia, in conformity with the provisions of the several Acts.
Her Majesty's Superintending Inspector of Workshops has forwarded
to me complaints of nuisances observed by the factory
inspectors, and notifications of new workshops, as required by
the Acts. And in accordance with the requirements of the
Acts I have reported to that official numerous cases of the
employment of 'protected persons,' i.e., 'children' under 14,
' young persons,' between 14 and 18 years of age, and women
over 18. Nuisances observed in the discharge of my duties
have been duly reported to the Public Health Department."
Particulars of some of the work carried out during the
