Boarding out of Children.

The Governor may, at any time, order the Superintendent to transfer to a school any child boarded out in pursuance of this Ordinance, or to board out any child ordered to be sent to a reformatory school, and, in either of these cases, the provisions of this Ordinance shall apply as if the child had been in the first instance sent to a school or boarded out as the case may be.
17. The provisions of this Ordinance with respect to a child detained in a school shall, so far as applicable, apply in the case of a child boarded out in pursuance of this Ordinance, as if the place where the child is boarded out were a school; provided that the Governor in Council may make such further modifications of those provisions as may appear to him to be necessary or proper for adapting those provisions to the case of children boarded out in pursuance of this Ordinance.

Liability of Parent for Expenses of Child,
19.-(1.) The parent of a child detained in a reformatory school shall be liable to pay for his expenses therein.
(2.) At the time of making the order of detention, the Magistrate shall also make an order on the parent to contribute such sums towards the expenses of the child during his detention as shall seem proper, after due examination into the ability of the parent to pay and after consideration of all the circumstances of the case, but the sum to be contributed shall not exceed the expenses of the child. It shall be the duty of the Magistrate to re-consider the amount of the contribution on receipt of an application from the Superintendent or from the parent for a revision of the order.
(3.) The parent shall pay the sum named in the order monthly to the Captain Superintendent of Police, who may sue the parent for payment, and shall pay any sum received by him from the parent into the Colonial Treasury for the use of the Government of the Colony.
