* 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 rewpective classes. A foornote should be added to show that this has been done.
†The figures required in column 2, 3 and 4 are the total number of list (received from employers who sent them both in February and August as required by the Act) and of the entries of names of outworkers in those lists. They will, therefore, usually be double of the number
of such employers and (approximately) double of the number of individual outworkers whose names are given, since in the February and August and August list of the same employer the same outworker's name will often be repeated.
