Ordinance provided for the
registration, inspection and control
of Mui "sai, and forbade under

employment an unregistered Mui
Tsai. Further, it was laid down
that no person hould have in his
employment any female domestic
servant under the age of ten years
unless such servant was a registered
Mui Tsai, and that every Mui "sai
over the age of ten years should
be entitled to such wages for her
services as shall be prescribed.

Enactment generally, and particularly
