Enclosure No.2.

in its place has been approved by the Executive Council
whereby "any change, whether temporary or permanent, in the
address at which the muitsai or the employer resides" must
be reported. This regulation (copies of which are enclosed)

the Government Gazette of the 31st May, 1935.
(g) Of the four girls concerned in these cases, two

(a) Inspector Fraser left the Colony on home leave
on the 18th May, 1935, and his place is being filled by
Acting Inspector O'Connor, who has been lent to the Secretariat
for Chinese Affairs by the Police Department.
(b) The two Lady Inspectors paid a total of 1,622
visits to registered muit sai and to ex-muit sai who have

the course of their visiting, as to the existence of alleged
unregistered muitsai. Their work has been responsible for
the great majority of the prosecutions.
(c) Inspector Fraser's work has again been of a very
high standard. He has brought the register system and the inspection routine to a high pitch of efficiency, and has conducted the prosecutions with marked ability.
