In the draft ordinance the whole of sections 27 6:47 the Hong Kong ordinance has been replaced by the

Part II of the Story They beclinance has been omitted entirely as it has nothing whatever to do with the protection of women and children. It is a fragment of the

Foreigners' brothels Ordinance which has been abolished. It may be well to provide in the Regulations for the hanging of notices in brothels informing inmates that they are permitted to go to hospital whenever they wish. Although women who have been resident in brothels for some time are aware of that fact; strangers might be ignorant of it.
