5. The number of inmates of the Po Leung Kuk on 1st January, 1936, was fifty-nine and during the year 615 persons were admitted as against 369 in 1935. The circumstances of admission and the action taken in regard to them are set out in Table A.
6. Six hundred and thirteen women, girls and children were admitted without warrant and two under warrant. Twenty-five were lost children, sixty were accompanied by parents or guardians and twenty-four were maidservants or Muitsai who had left their employers.
7. On leaving the Kuk 242 persons were restored to husbands or other relatives, thirty-nine were sent to charitable institutions in China, eleven were given in adoption, 267 were released after enquiries, twelve were released under bond, and twenty-five were sent to a School, Convent or Refuge in the Colony. The number of inmates remaining in the Kuk on December 31st was seventy-one.
8. One hundred and thirteen cases of sickness were sent to the Tung Wah Hospital and one to the Government Civil Hospital for treatment and of these seven died.
9. The Hon. Dr. S. W. Tso, C.B.E., and Lieutenant-Colonel H. B. L. Dowbiggin, O.B.E., continued to serve as Visiting Justices throughout the year.
10. I regret to report the death on the 28th of December of Mrs. R. H. Kotewall, who shared with Mrs. S. W. Tso the duties of Lady Visitors to the Kuk. Mrs. Kotewall had served in this capacity for fourteen years and to her influence is due in no small degree the progress which has been made during that period in the care and comfort of the inmates of the institution.
