7TH TITLE.

On the Recognition and Announcement (Reclamation) of Foundlings and Abandoned Children.

21. No charge is made in the rules relative to the recognition and advertising of foundling and abandoned children, but before exercising any right, the parents must, if they have the means, reimburse the authorities for all expenses made either by the State or by the hospitals, and in no case, can an infant of which the State has made disposition, be released until those obligations are met.
