Sec. 43.—In the absence of any person qualified to discharge, a discharge or removal may be ordered by the Commissioners.
Pauper Patients.
Sec. 25.—The order must contain the name and address of one or more relations of the lunatic, and notice of the death of the lunatic must be sent to such relation.
Sec. 38.—A pauper permitted to be absent on trial from a licensed house or hospital may have such an allowance made to him by order of the Commissioners, Visitors, or committees as would be charged for him were he in the house or hospital.
Licensed Houses and Hospitals.
Secs. 14 and 15.—No fresh licence can be granted by justices without inspection and report by the Commissioners. Notices of alterations in houses licensed by justices must be given to Commissioners. Their report must be considered by the justices before licence is granted or alterations are consented to.
Sec. 16.—The physician, surgeon, or apothecary not being a licensee, where any such is by law required to reside in or visit a licensed house, must in the metropolitan district be approved of by the Commissioners, and in the provincial district by the visiting justices.
A penalty is imposed on any person infringing the terms of his licence as to numbers, sex, or class.
Sec. 18.—With consent of two of the Commissioners, or, in the case of the provincial licensed houses, of two of the Visitors, a person who may have been a patient within five years immediately preceding, may be received as a boarder into a licensed house (extension of c. 96, s. 6).
Sec. 29.—Licensed houses may be visited at any time by one or more of the Commissioners or Visitors, but in the metropolitan district they must be so visited twice in the year, in addition to the present visits by two Commissioners, and in the provincial districts similarly by Visitors. Commissioners and Visitors visiting singly have substantially the same powers of inspection and inquiry as when visiting together. To these the sixty-second section of the Act does not apply.
