57 women and girls were committed, under warrant and 253 were admitted without warrant. Of the remainder 41 were lost children, 16 were accompanied by parents or guardians, and 26 were maid-servants or "muitsai" who had left their masters or mistresses.
On leaving the Kuk 153 women and girls were restored to husbands or other relatives, 47 were sent to charitable institutions in China, 25 were given in adoption, 4 married, 140 released (one released under bond), 13 sent to the Italian Convent and three died. The number of inmates remaining in the Kuk on December 31st was 66.
The income and expenditure during the year and the assets and liabilities of the institution are set out in Table B and C attached.
The accounts of the Managing Committee in the customary form have been audited by Messrs. Lei Cho San and Kong Sui Ying. The balance to the credit of the Society at the end of the year was $7,253 as compared with $6,766 at the end of 1922.
The institution was visited monthly by Justices of Peace, Messrs. A. G. Coppin and Chau Siu-ki, who on no occasion found cause for adverse comment. The average monthly number of inmates was 58.
The matron reports favourably on the conduct, health and industry of the inmates during the year. There were 62 cases of sickness of which 37 were sent to the Tung Wah Hospital for treatment and of these three died.
Certain structural alterations, involving the removal and rebuilding of the kitchen, were carried out by the Committee with the advice of the P.W.D., and constitute a great improvement.
The Committee took a keen interest in the building and raised some $3,000 for the above alterations and also for a general overhaul, including replacement of wooden beams and white-washing of walls.
Mrs. Chow Shou-son and Mrs. R. H. Kotewall (the wives of the two Chinese Members of the Legislative Council) consented to undertake the duty of regular monthly visits of inspection during the year.
