GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG. 19th August, 1931.

With reference to Your Lordship's despatch No.174

of 24th June, 1931, on the subject of the inspection of mui-tsai,

I have the honour to inform Your Lordship that arrangements

have been made whereby a European Sub-Inspector of Police has

been seconded to the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs for the

inspection of registered mui-tsai.

2. It has further been decided to appoint two Chinese

female inspectors as soon as suitable candidates are forthcoming

and enquiries are now being made with that end in view. Provision

for the salaries of these female inspectors will be asked for

in the Estimates for 1932, and, if suitable candidates can be

obtained this year, special provision will be made for their

salaries.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient, humble servant,

Live

Governor, &c.
