## GENERAL
17. The separation of juveniles from adults referred to in last year's report was continued during 1932. Pressure of work makes it at present impossible to take the cases of juveniles entirely apart from those of adults. The Juvenile Offenders Ordinance passed in the year under report will, when put in force, effect a great change in the arrangements for the trial of this class of offender.
18. Proceedings were taken under the Extradition Acts against two persons, and under the Fugitive Offenders Act against one person, for crimes committed outside the Colony. The two former were both committed to prison to await the orders of H.E. the Governor: the latter was discharged.
19. Summonses under the Married Women (Desertion) Ordinance, 1905, in Hong Kong numbered three as against one in 1931. In each case an order was made. In Kowloon these summonses numbered eight as against four in 1931. In five of them orders were made.
21st April, 1933.
W. SCHOFIELD, First Police Magistrate.
