My Lord,
541
Government House,
Hongkong, 10th.September, 1910.
I have the honour to submit for
the signification of His Majesty's pleasure the following
*1
· Ordinance entitled:-
An Ordinance to secure the better training of
Midwives and to regulate their practice.
(No. 22 of 1910.)
2.
The customary report by the
· Attorney-General is enclosed.
3.
This legislation has been prompt-
-ed by a recent case which formed the subject of a criminal
prosecution, in which a Chinese woman without any training
practised as a midwife under the English name of her
Australian husband, and grossly mismanaged a case in which
a Portuguese woman was confined.
It is impossible at the present
time to apply the provisions of the Ordinance to native
midwives who practise among the native population only.
Such
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE EARL OF CREWE •
