fact that all the registered women are Burmese, not a single native of India being on the
register, although there is a considerable population of the latter class in Toungoo. A
fresh batch of these women (camp-followers) arrive in the station with each relief of
European troops. There is no doubt that the British troops consort with some of these
women, but it is extremely difficult to prove the fact, there being no European inspector of
police to watch the movements of the suspected ones.
6. When I assumed charge of this hospital in March 1877, there were 15 women on
the register ; at the present time there are 22 on the register. They present themselves every
Friday morning for examination, and are personally inspected by the Surgeon in charge of
the hospital.
7. During the year 27 women were reported to the Cantonment Magistrate for non-
attendance at the weekly examination, and punished accordingly by fine or imprisonment. I
think the former mode of punishment is felt more by these women than imprisonment.
They do not seem to care in the least about going to jail for 10 days. No fees are exacted
from the prostitutes. When under treatment in hospital, they receive a daily allowance
of two annas, with which they provide food for themselves.
8. There are four servants,—matron cook, peon, and sweeper. The Hospital Assistant
receives no extra allowance for performing duties of the lock hospital.
