REPORT ON ORDINANCE No..11................
...of 1927.
1.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled an Ordinance
to amend the Asylums Ordinance, 1906, and I am of opinion
that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Gover-
nor's instructions.
2.
The object of this Ordinance is to define more clearly
the procedure requisite for the admission of patients into
mental asylums, and to ensure, so far as possible, that the
removal of a patient to an asylum shall not take place with-
cut notice to the patient's relatives.
Ordinance,
3. Section 2 of this Ordinance inserts in the principal
Ordinance No.6 of 1906, a new section 4 which gives
the Governor in Council power to make regulations for various
purposes connected with the objects of the Asylums Ordinance.
