3. Since the last prosecutions mentioned in
paragraph 3 of my despatch No. 4 of 7th January, 1932,
there have been eleven prosecutions under Ordinance
No. 1 of 1923.
of these nine were for keeping unregistered
Mui sai; the tenth was for 111-treating a registered
kui Tsai with an additional charge of failing to pay
wages prescribed by the Regulations made under the
Ordinance; and the eleventh was for bringing an
unregistered kui Tsai into the Colony.
There were no aggravating circumstances in
any of the nine cases of keeping unregistered kui Taai
and fines varied from $100 to $25.
In the tenth case the employer was fined
£10 and ordered to pay all outstanding wages.
In the case of bringing an unregistered Mui
Tsai into the Colony, the girl was found in a desolate
condition in the street by the Police, having run away
from her employer, because of the harsh treatment meted
out to her. The employer was charged on two counts
and was fined $40 for bringing an unregistered kui Isai
