Board drawing the attention of the Vestry to an order made by
the Secretary of State under Section 27 of the Factory and Workshops
Act, 1891, by which lists of out-workers are required to be
kept in tho following trades:—The manufacture of articles of
wearing apparel, cabinet and furniture making, upholstery work,
manufacture of electro plate, and the manufacture of files.
This order came into effect on November 20th, 1892. It requires
the occupier of every factory and workshop, where any of tho
above businesses are carried on, to keep lists of the names and
addresses of all persons employed by them to do work at their own

Vestry, in order that the sanitary condition of domestic workshops
may be looked after. So far no action has been taken by your
officers under the above order, for your present staff are so fully
occupied that they have not had time to inspect the workshops
known to them, it was, therefore, considered useless to obtain the
addresses of fresh ones. The matter must remain in abeyance till
additional inspectors are appointed as recommended by the Sanitary
Committee.
Bearing upon this subject, tho following report by Mr. Shirley
