# H 4

20. A noteworthy feature of 1937 was the large number of bonds enforced. This is partly due to more offenders having been bound over in that year. Binding over is resorted to chiefly for simple larceny, unlawful possession, assault and breach of the peace, and begging. In Kowloon, where binding over was less frequent, bonds enforced numbered one-third of the bonds entered into. In Hong Kong the proportion was only one-ninth.

21. The Aberdeen Industrial School was filled up during the year, so that other means of reformation of juveniles had to be tried. Fines were more frequent, because they could be paid, thanks to profits on newspaper sales.

22. The probation officers did very valuable work, and made possible the successful functioning of the juvenile courts and remand homes.

1st April, 1938.

H. R. BUTTERS,

First Police Magistrate.
