from SIS. 600, 900 to 100000, 900, for
which they make no returns. Four
fifths of them are under fifty years 81
age, are able-bodied and have the
physical ability at least to follow some
useful calling. Most of them give
their occupation as laborers or general
workers, but they are followed 10 point
