Discharge or removal by Governor.

13. The Governor may at any time order any offender to be discharged from a certified reformatory school, or to be removed from one certified reformatory school to another, but so that the whole period of [29 and 30 V.] detention of the offender in a reformatory school shall not be increased by such removal.

14. The managers of a certified reformatory school may, at any time after the expiration of eighteen months of the period of detention allotted to a youthful offender, by licence under their hands, permit him to live with any trustworthy and respectable person named in the licence willing to receive and take charge of him.

Any licence so granted shall not be in force for more than three months, but may at any time before the expiration of such three months be renewed for a further period not exceeding three months, to commence from the expiration of the previous period of three months, and so from time to time until the youthful offender's period of detention is expired.

Any such licence may also be revoked by the managers of the school, by writing under their hands, at any time before the expiration of such period of three months, and thereupon the youthful offender to whom the licence related may be required by the managers, by writing under their hands, to return to the school.
