Dear Dr. Drummond Shields,

With reference to my question No. 26, reported
in Hansard of May 13th, in which it was suggested
that some evasion of the Registration Ordinance
with regard to Mui Tsai in the colony of Hong Kong was
taking place, I now enclose cuttings from the "Hong
Kong Telegraph" reporting several cases of recent date,
which were the basis of the question, and, I think suggest the necessity forfurther enquiry.
I should be glad if you would let me have the se
cuttings back again in due course.
I regret that I overlooked sending these to you
before and will be glad to have them back to your convenience.
Yours sincerely,
H. Graham White.
MBW.
Dr. Drummond Shields,
Under Secretary of State for the Colonies. Colonial Office. Whitehall.S.W.l.
