FACTORY AND WORKSHOPS ACTS 1878—1895.
The following is a list of the additional workshops registered during
the year. The total number was 99; of these 9 were workshops in
which males were employed, and 90 where females were employed.
The former were inspected by the male Sanitary Inspectors, the latter
by Miss Teebay. Any nuisances found were all satisfactorily abated.
The total number of workshops now on the register is 1727 and is
