20 miles from the Chinese border and 90 from Canton

and the Colony's native population of (say) some 400,000

no more possible to recognise and keep a check on the

mui teai moving to and fro than it is to recognise and

keep a check on all robbers and bad characters from the

interior.

The Colony has, with the active assistance of

resident Chinese, developed its om system of detecting

and dealing with abuses as far as possible: this will be

referred to below. It appears that something more is asked for: but the only suggestion made is for some form

of registration. A very slight local knowledge would

show that the practical difficulties in the way of

registering all mui tsai in the Colony are so great as

to render the suggestion of small value at the best: the

regulations would have to contain Sections appointing

Inspectors, (who, if not Europeans, would have at least to be under the closest European supervision), with large powers of entry to private houses; penalties for

itself can be claimed, with little chance of the claim

being disproved. All the evil disposed would be no worse
