has been sent to the Factory Inspector as requested
by his letter dated March, 1902.
There are in the district 204 registered workshops,
and of these, 64 are domestic workshops,
i.e., a private house or place which, though used
as a dwelling, is by reason of the work carried on
there, a workshop within the meaning of the Act,
but the only persons employed are members of the
same family dwelling there.
Under this Act, 144 visits have been made to
the workshops and workplaces in the district

generally they are kept in a clean and satisfactory
condition.
