were found to be used as bedrooms. The number of workshops without the "Abstract"
prescribed by the Act was 65, against 118 in the previous year. Each case was duly reported
to the Home Office. In 1903, 133 notices were required to deal with nuisances and infringements
of the Factorv and Workshop Act. Last year the number fell to 90. Much necessary
work was, however, done without notice, on verbal requests of the Inspectors.
