The Medical Officer in charge of the Lock Hospital attributes the increase of disease to want
of sufficient diligence in detecting females consorting with European soldiers, and it would also
seem that the registered females have little dread. of the punishment which follows a non-compli-
ance with the rules under which they are placed.
The number who absented themselves from the weekly examinations was 70 in 1877 and
211 in 1878, while, on the other side, a larger number of females have been placed on the register,
the majority of whom were found to be diseased, and it is unknown how long they had been
following an unchaste life prior to coming under observation. The following table gives the
number of prostitutes registered during the year, the number found diseased, and the diseases
they were suffering from :—

The Medical Officer, Lock Hospital, in his report, remarks, " There is a point which calls
for notice here. It is the large number of prostitutes whose names have been removed from the
register. The following figures for the past two years show the number of women whose
names have been struck off the roll."

" The difference in the two years is very great, being 88 more than last year. Removal of
names from the register is sanctioned on the prostitute affording security for not practising her
calling for the future, but it is doubtful how far they adhere to their promise, because on a recent
