Mui Tsai System

Case offth Condr & Mrs Haslewood.

Camer

To ask the Lord Privy Seal, whether he is aware that the governor Hong Kong requested the naval authorities at Hong Kong to restrain the wife of Lieutenant-Commander Haslewood, then superintendent of the chart department from advocating publicly the prohibition of the mui taai system, and that the commander-in-chief thereupon tried to bring pressure to bear upon Mrs. Haslewood! through her husband to desist from her public advocacy of a messure which has how been substantially adopted by His Majesty's Government, as evidenced by the proclamation in Hong Kong that slavery is not allowed to exist in the Briti Empire and that therefore mui taai are not the property of their owners; and whether, in view of all the circumstances, the Government can make some amend both to Lieutenant-Co amander Haalewood and to Mrs. Haslewood.
