The figures required in columns 2 and 4 are the total number of lists 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; there 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 lists of the same employer the same outworkers' names will often be repeated.
