copy of a recent correspondence between

the Colonial Office and the National Association for the repeal of the

Contagious Diseases Acts", respecting the

similar Ordinances in Hong Kong

Your Lordship further

informs me that the House of Commons

has pronounced against the system of

the compulsory

examination of women

in the United Kingdom, and that Her Majesty's Government has recalled the

Metropolitan Police who were employed

on this service in the Towns under the

Acts.

It is added that "it is

desirable,

if

there is no

strong reason

for

maintaining the practice in Hong Kong,

to follow the course which has been

resolved upon in this country, while

retaining in the fullest force

the registration and supervision of brothels,

and all parts of the Ordinances which are directed against Brothel Slavery."

Before, however, any decision can be arrived at on the point, you

should

consult the Legislative Council, and

make such enquiries as will be

calculated best to elicit local opinion
