on the revocation of an order of discharge, any obligation to contribute to the expenses of the child shall revive and be in force during the period for which the child is detained.

Licences to Children to live out of School.

14.(1.) The Superintendent may, at any time after a child has been detained in a school for eighteen months, permit him, by licence, to live out of the school, with any trustworthy and respectable person named in the licence who is willing to receive and take charge of him.

(2.) Any such licence shall be in force for a period specified in the licence, not exceeding three months, but may, at any time before the expiration of that period, be renewed for a further period not exceeding three months, to commence from the expiration of the previous period, and so from time to time until the child is discharged.

(3.) The Superintendent may also at any time, by order in writing, revoke any such licence and order the child to return to the school in which he was detained previously to his being licensed.

(4.) A child escaping from the person with whom he is placed in pursuance of this section, or refusing to return to the school at the expiration or on the revocation of his licence, may be apprehended and otherwise dealt with in like manner as if he had escaped from the school.

Boarding out of Children.

15. (1.) The Governor may make rules consistent with this Ordinance for the boarding out of children, and for the management of children when boarded out in pursuance of this Ordinance, and for the duties of the Superintendent with respect to such children, and for the inspection of such children.

(2.) While a child is under the charge of the Superintendent for the purpose of being boarded out, he shall continue under the control of the Superintendent and of any person with whom he is boarded out under the supervision of the Superintendent, notwithstanding that he may be claimed by his parent; and the order of the Magistrate shall be a sufficient authority to the Superintendent and to such person as aforesaid for retaining the child under his control.

Making of rules relating to boarding out of children.

16. 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 school, and, in either of these cases, the provisions of this Ordinance shall apply as if the child had been originally dealt with under the provisions relating to boarding out or to place in a school.
