* In the case of those occupiers who gave out work of more than one of the classes specified
in column 1, and subdivided their lists in such a way as to show the number of workers in each
class of work, the list has been included among those in column 2 (or 5 as the case may be)
against the principal class only; but th3 outworkers have been assigned in columns 3 and 4 (or
6 and 7) into their respective classes.
+ The figures 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. 66 lists were received twice in the year. The
names of Outworkers that were repeated in the duplicated Returns have not been counted twice.
