From the foregoing statement 93 were arrested during the year for evading
the medical examinations. There were no escapes during the year. The large.
number of 61 were arrested under section 28 of Act XXII of 1864, and 49 for
practising without a license : this is a great increase over last year, as none were
arrested under section 28 and 14 more than were arrested for unlicensed prosti
tution. This shows much more care on the part of the Inspector in carrying out
steps to prevent unlicensed prostitution. As far as I have seen it is through this
clandestine prostitution that the benefits of the Act are prevented from being seen,
and this is well borne out by the fact that out of 197 Natives registered during the
year 123 were found diseased on the 1st examination, or, in other words, the day
of their registration. One may well imagine how much disease may spread from
such a number of diseased women. Amongst the 18 Europeans registered during
the year two were found diseased on their registration. Mr. Thurgood states there
is a great difficulty in being able to arrest under sections 16 and 18 of the Act as
a warrant is required before he can arrest them, and thus time is given for them
to escape. It would be better, if their arrest was permitted without the necessity
of a warrant.
VI.—How far the registration has been efficient, to what class it extends, and over what area.
The registrations during the year, both amongst Natives and Europeans, are
less than last year. Below is the statement compared with past years :—

XI.—How far dhaies are employed and with what success.
None.
XII.—Any information on other matters or suggestions for the improvement of the rules.
There are few suggestions to make beyond what is in the body of this report.
I would suggest an increased staff. The area over which the Act extends is now over
102 square miles and a population of over 180,000. One Inspector, one naik,
and two constables are scarcely sufficient to carry out the rules adequately.
I would suggest two more constables.
I would also suggest that it would be advisable if registered prostitutes could
be arrested without a warrant for evading the examinations and absconding from
hospital. The Inspector has first to go and find out the reason of their absence;
they may be ill or have some excuse. Having done so he has to go and get a warrant,
and when he returns they have disappeared. One durwan at the hospital is
insufficient, as he has frequently to leave his post and take letters, or follow some
of the women who may be permitted to visit their homes.
The staff of the lock-hospital has worked well during the year. Mr. Fonseca
has worked zealously and sufficiently, and the subordinates have been regular and
careful. Mr. Thurgood has worked efficiently, and has been the means during the
year of detecting many prostitutes under the various sections of the Act.
Expenditure.—The total expenditure during the year was Rs. 13,987-10-4
and, deducting the fines, Rs. 12,800-0-4, as compared with Rs. 13,357-0-5 of last
year.-

This table shows that there has been but little fluctuation either in the num-
bers registered, attendance, or cases of disease.
The type of disease amongst the women and men who contract disease here
is remarkably mild ; this seems to have been the case for years past. It is very
seldom that grave constitutional disturbance results from the supervention of
secondary symptoms, which are evanescent in character. No women are received
into the lock-hospital for non-venereal affections, nor are the registered prosti-
tutes detained. during their menstrual periods.
XI.—How far dhaies are employed and with what success.
No dhaies are employed or any other special agencies.
XII.—Any information on other matters or suggestions for the improvement of the rules.
I can only suggest that present rules should be more strictly enforced through
-out the area to which they apply, particularly to Allanmyo and surrounding vil-
lages, and that more vigilance should be exercised by the police in bringing to light
unlicensed prostitution.

8. At Toungoo 20 women were reported for non-attendance. Of these seven
were convicted and sentenced to pay fines, amounting in all to Rs. 60, of which
only Rs. 30 were realized.
9. The expenditure during the year of report of the two institutions is
given below :—

The expenditure at Moulmein decreased by Rs. 158-9-5 compared with the
expenditure of 1880, while at Toungoo it increased by Rs. 134-8-5.
10. The average cost per patient at Moulmein was Rs. 28-5-0 as compared
with Rs. 28-8-1 in 1880. The cost per patient at Toungoo is given at Rs. 14-5-3.
11. It cannot be said that the results of the year in either of these institu-
tions are satisfactory as given in their returns, which show a positive and in
one case a serious increase of venereal disease, but it is satisfactory that at both
stations more attention seems to have been paid to the endeavour to suppress
unlicensed prostitution.
From Major M. FURLONG, M. S. C., Deputy Commissioner, Moulmein Town District, to the Commis-
sioner of the Tenasserim Division,—No. 24-35, dated the 31st January 1882.
I HAVE the honour to forward the annual report on the lock-hospital for
the year 1881.
2. There were 51 prostitutes on the register at the end of the year, against 53
at the end of 1880. Of these only 25 were reported for non-attendance, against
41 in the previous year, 13 women were brought to trial for practising prostitution
without a license, and in four cases convictions were obtained, against none in
the previous year. The present inspector has been much More active than his
predecessor, 13 women having been arrested during the year for this offence,
against three in the previous year. The evidence obtainable is as a rule in such
cases of a kind which does not carry very much weight, and convictions are con-
sequently difficult to obtain.
MOULMEIN.
I.—The nature and extent of the hospital accommodation, whether it is suitable, and whether there has
been any change in it during the year.
THERE have been no alterations made in the lock-hospital building or out-
houses since the last annual report. Repairs as needful have been carried out.
The construction of the new hospital has not yet been commenced.
The accommodation provided by the hospital has remained the same.
The average daily sick has been 4.00 during the year : the average space per
inmate was 4,689 cubic feet.
The lock-hospital, &c., and the enclosures are kept in a cleanly state. The
site is naturally well-drained. Good water is procured from an adjacent well
throughout the year.
II.—Any changes in the medical charge of the lock-hospital during the year.
No change has taken place in the medical charge of the lock-hospital during
the year.
III.—The extent of venereal disease among European troops as shown by the weekly returns.
A wing and head-quarters of H. M.'s 2nd Regiment, M. N. I., has been
stationed in Moulmein during the year.
