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.
