persons employed by them (either as workmen or as contractors)
outside the factory or workshop, and the places where
they are employed. This requirement under the Act of 1901,
which came into force in January last, now applies to any place
from which work is given out. A copy of such list must be

Factory Inspector when he requires it.

State requiring these lists to be kept by occupiers and contractors
in the following trades :—
The making, cleaning, washing, altering, ornamenting, finishing, and
repairing of wearing apparel, and any work incidental thereto.
The making, ornamenting, mending, and finishing of lace, and of lace
curtains and nets.
Cabinet and furniture making and upholstery work.
The making of electro plate.
The making of files.
Fur pulling.
If you employ any Outworkers you are requested to
furnish such list forthwith, as by any contravention of the
Section referred to you render yourself liable to a fine of forty
shillings and in the event of a second offence to a fine of £5.

Register
A register in accordance with the Act is kept. In
addition particulars are kept as to the measurements,
air space, number of occupants, sanitary conveniences, &c., of the
workshops. During the past year this work has been systematically
done, particular attention being first directed to bakehouses. It is
anticipated that by the end of 1903 such particulars will be obtained
and recorded in connection with all the workshops, workplaces,
bakehouses, &c., in the Borough.
