C 48
61 women and girls were admitted under warrant and 419 were admitted without warrant. 7 were lost children, 2 were accompanied by parents or guardians, and 1 was a maid-servant or "mui-tsai" who had left her master or mistress.
On leaving the Kuk, 229 women and girls were restored to husbands or other relatives, 24 were sent to charitable institutions in China, 3 were given in adoption, 4 married, 164 released (2 released under bond), 19 sent to Convent or Refuge, and 2 died. The number of inmates remaining in the Kuk on December 31st was 35.
The institution was visited monthly by Justices of the Peace, Mr. A. G. Coppin and the Hon. Dr. S. W. Tso, O.B.E., who on no occasion found cause for adverse comment. The average monthly number of inmates was 40.
The matron reports favourably on the conduct, health, and industry of the inmates during the year. There were 90 cases of sickness, of which 84 were sent to the Tung Wa Hospital for treatment, and of these 2 died.
Mrs. R. H. Kotewall and Mrs. S. W. Tso paid regular visits of inspection during the year and took a great interest in the sewing, embroidery, and other handiwork of the girls. The development of this line of activity owes a great deal to Mr. Tam Woon-tong and his colleagues on the committee. Mrs. Tam Woon-tong also gave valuable assistance. The interest shown by Lady Peel, who paid several visits to the Kuk, has been much appreciated.
