she child

mother-in-law used to come to Hong Kong to get

money from her.

According

to the

register left in

this office Ip To arrived in the Colony

on the 9th

9th of August

1891 and entered

a brothel at 106. On the 14

registered

of September she removed to registered brothel No 150 and on the 18th

" August

1892 removed to brothel No 213, where she

remained until the 6th October

1892 when she entered brothel No 177 of which brothel she was an inmate at the time of her death.

It was shown by

the inmates

of the other brothels in the same street that this man owed Ip So and that he had promised

money

so

to give

her a

present,

Ip

and it is currently

believed that Ip So

intended to frighten him into paying her

a small dose of opium,

by taking

and that she took the overdose by

mistake.

No other reason for her act has been suggested.
