And perhaps it is worth observing that, while a lunatic may be thus summarily removed from the hospital to the prison, by the simple fiat of the hospital authorities alone, a lunatic could not so readily be removed from the penitentiary to the hospital. For this purpose the law of 1852 presented a complex process. In order that a lunatic might be removed from the penitentiary to the hospital, the law provided that not only the inspectors of the penitentiary — honorable and conscientious men — s...hould judge the con- tinued confinement of such lunatic in the penitentiary to be improper, and his removal to the State Lunatic Asylum necessary to his restoration, but the case must also be sub- mitted to a board composed of the District Attorney and either two superintendents of insane asylums or a compe- tent physician or physicians to be appointed by the Court of [4] 50 Quarter Sessions. Nor was their certificate of approval sufficient to secure the object: but that certificate must be transmitted to the Governor, and, if he approved, he might order the removal.
