workshop supervision.
Inspections.—The total number of inspections and re-inspections was 2,468 (See Table 35)
and of rooms measured 392. The latter involves the calculation of the cubic contents of
each room, and the filling up of a special card (to be hung in the workroom) stating the
number of workers such room will accommodate. Admission was refused on two occasions.
In one case the refusal occurred after service of notice to cleanse a workroom, and proceedings
were instituted, the summons being, however, withdrawn at the adjourned hearing, the
defendant in the interval affording the necessary facilities for inspection. In the other case
the occupier stated that no hands were employed, and the matter was carried no further.
