The number in the Po Leung Kuk on the 1st January was 69,504, of whom 91 were children, were admitted during the year. The circumstances of their admission and the action taken regarding them, are detailed in Table A. 157 were admitted with their own consent, 9 were lost children, 5 accompanied their parents and 9 were runaway maidservants. On leaving the Po Leung Kuk, 162 were placed in charge of their husband, parents or other relative, 49 were sent to charitable institutions in China, 25 were married, 3 adopted and 18 released under bond. The Italian Convent, the Eyre Diocesan Refuge and the Victoria Home are all ready to receive suitable cases and 29 women and children were sent to these institutions. The average number of inmates at the close of each month was 63, the number in the Po Leung Kuk on the 31st December was 46.
The usual tables shewing the income and expenditure during the year and the assets and liabilities of the Society are attached. The accounts of the Elected Committee have been audited by Mr. Ku Fai-shan and Mr. Chiu Chau-sám. The balance to the credit of the Society on the 31st December was $19,580, of which $15,000 are on fixed deposit with Chinese banks. The actual expenditure for the year was $11,058, as against $10,282 in 1909. The subscriptions amounted to $8,685 as against $8,393.
There has been no serious outbreak of illness during the year. Twelve inmates were admitted to the Tung Wah Hospital, two for Beri-beri.
The matron and the other members of the staff have given satisfaction.
On Mr. Bryers leaving the Colony in February, Mr. F. Maitland was appointed Visiting Justice. The Po Leung Kuk has been visited twelve times, four times by one Justice and eight times by two. Only on one occasion did the Justices find anything to draw attention to—a girl who had been admitted on the day of their visit and who was inconsolably miserable.
