6. This step, which was advocated by the District Watch Committee, has proved to be of great value. The ladies, who are very diligent and take an interest in their work, visit the homes of every registered Mui Tsai and get in touch with the families.

7. Details of every visit are recorded, unreported changes of addresses are investigated, due payment of wages is enquired into and where necessary cautions are given.

8. The general public is well aware of the importance attached by Government to the proper care of Mui Tsai, and from time to time we have received communications, which are always immediately followed up. A number of such anonymous communications proved to be baseless, and were probably prompted by spite, but in some cases they led to the discovery of an unregistered Mui Tsai.

9. During the year thirty-nine prosecutions were brought under the Mui Tsai Ordinance with thirty-eight convictions. These prosecutions, which included one for non-payment of wages, were mainly for employment of unregistered Mui Tsai. No case arose for prosecution of an employer on the ground of ill-treating a registered Mui Tsai.

10. The help of the Po Leung Kuk and the Salvation Army Home has again been ungrudgingly given to this department.

11. It should also be recorded that a happy co-operation has existed between this department and the Society for the Protection of Children in cases of hardship, arising from poverty or any other cause, in which children have been affected.

12. Under the Women and Girls Protection Ordinance (4 of 1897) fifteen prosecutions were brought with eighteen convictions. These were cases of harbouring or procuring.

13. Under Section 45A of Ordinance 2 of 1865, twenty-four cases were brought on charges connected with trafficking in minors and thirty-two convictions were obtained.

14. For a fuller report on the work of the Po Leung Kuk, see Annexe A of this report.
