* If an occupier gives out work of more than one of the classes specified in column 1, and subdivides his list in such a way as to show
the number of workers in each class of work, the list should be included among those in column 2 (or 5 as the case may be) against the
principal class only, but the outworkers should be assigned in columns 3 and 4 (or 6 and 7) into their respective classes. A footnote should be
added to show that this has been done.
† The figures required 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. The entries in column 2 must
necessarily be even numbers, as there will be two lists for each employer—in some previous returns odd numbers have been inserted. The
figures in columns 3 and 4 will usually be (approximately) double of the number of individual outworkers whose names are given, since in
the February and August lists of the same employer the same outworker's name will often be repeated.
