register and to check any abuses of the anti-Qui Tsai

legislation; the ilong Kong Government is satisfied that any

serious breaches of the anti-lui Tsai legislation could not

escape the notice of th se inspectors. Before the end of

1931 all the addresses at which girls who were formerly Kui

Tsai had been registered were visited by the Inspectors. The

visits paid by the lady Inspectors were particularly

appreciated by both the girls and their employers, and such

visit, have shown that in general the girls are contented and

well treated by their employers. This is also borne out by

the fact that comparatively few irls left their employers

when they became free to do so..

Special reports are sent by the Governor every six

months, and I enclose a copy of the last one which we have

received here.
