sir,

In the years 1922-23 we had some correspondence on behalf

of this Society with the Department, in connection with the mui tsai system in the Colony of Hong Kong, and we were informed in the latter year that the Female Domestic Service Ordinance had been passed in February. We shall be glad if the Committee

may be favoured with a copy of this Ordinance, No. 1 of 1923.

We were also informed that the Governor of Hong Kong had been

Will asked to furnish reports on the working of the Ordinance.

you be good enough to inform our Committee if any reports have

been received since that of 1924, a copy of which was sent to us

in that year?

I am, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

Travers Buslar

Honorary Secretary.
