tion. The sphere of work of each patient shall be determined by the Superintendent as a measure of treatment, and in the case of any patient refusing to occupy himself the Superintendent shall have the power to curtail his privileges as he would for other misconduct or wilful breach of regulations.

14. Punishment.—Patients guilty of misconduct of any kind, or of wilful breaches of regulations, may be punished by withdrawal of tobacco or of extras, and deprivation of amusements, or by being restricted to their own rooms or dormitories; and in serious cases they may be placed under a dietary scale inferior to that in general use, provided it is considered by the Superintendent that such a course will not prove injurious to their mental or physical health; but punishment of any kind shall not be inflicted by any person except by direction of the Superintendent, who must carefully inquire into each case and hear the defence of the accused person before directing punishment. Full records of all such cases, together with the nature and extent of the punishment inflicted (if any), shall be entered in a book, which must be initialled by the Superintendent and manager. The book shall be submitted by the Superintendent to the Inspector, or his deputy, during his regular or special visits and it shall bear his initials as proof that it has been so submitted, and that the punishments as set forth in the book have not been excessive. If it is considered that any punishment has been unduly severe, the officer inspecting the book shall note therein his refusal to initial it, and shall report the case to the Minister for investigation by any person he may appoint for that purpose.

15. Escapes.—If any patient escape from the institution every means possible shall be used to effect his recapture, and the manager shall at once inform the police and his relatives or friends.

16. Gifts.—No employee shall accept gifts from patients or from their relatives or friends.

17. Insanity.—If any patient shall be found to be or shall become insane, the Superintendent shall immediately give notice thereof to the Inspector and to one or more of the relations or friends. Further, the Superintendent shall take such steps as the case may appear to him to render desirable with a view to having the patient removed to a lunatic asylum.

18. Whenever a patient is discharged or escapes from, or dies in, the institution, the manager shall within twenty-four hours make and sign an entry thereof in a book to be kept for that purpose; and, in the case of a death, shall within twenty-four hours after such death transmit to the Inspector, in addition to any notice respecting such death required by law now or hereafter in force relating to the registration of deaths, a written notice of the death of such patient and of the cause thereof, and the name or names of any person or persons who was or were present at the death; and, in the case of the removal, discharge, or escape of such patient, of such removal, discharge, or escape.

19. Medical Journal.—The Superintendent shall, at least once in every week, enter or cause to be entered in a book to be kept for that purpose, to be called the “Medical Journal,” a statement showing the date of such statement; the number of patients of each sex then in the institution; the christian name and surname of every patient who then is, and since the last preceding entry has been, under restraint or in seclusion therein, and when and for what period and reasons, and, in cases of restraint, by what means; the christian name and surname of every patient seriously ill and under medical treatment, and for what disorder; the condition of the institution; and every death, injury, and violence which has happened to or affected any patient since the last preceding entry.

20. Case-book.—There shall also be kept a book, to be called the “Case-book,” in which the Superintendent shall enter the name, sex, and previous occupation of every patient, and also the history from time to time of his case whilst he continues in the institution, together with a correct description of the medicines and other remedies adopted for the cure of the patient.

21. Visitation.—The institution shall, without any previous notice, as often as the Inspector thinks fit, and at least twice in every year, be visited by the Inspector, and every such visit shall be made on such day or days, and at such hours of the day or night, and for such length of time, as the Inspector thinks fit; and such Inspector when inspecting the institution may and shall inspect every part of the same, and see every patient therein, and inquire whether any patient is under restraint, and why; and inspect the order and certificates for the reception of every patient who has been received into the institution since the last visit of the Inspector thereto; and enter in a book kept for that purpose, called the “Inspector’s Book,” the result of the inspection and inquiries, with such observations as he shall think proper.

22. All members of the Legislative Council or House of Representatives, Judges of the Supreme Court or District Court, Justices of the Peace, and ministers of religion shall at all times be entitled to visit the institution, and shall be admitted accordingly, and may enter, in a book to be kept for that purpose, called the “Visitors’ Book,” any remarks they think fit to make touching the institution, its officers, employees, or inmates.

23. Domestic Rules.—Rules for minor matters of domestic arrangement, and for giving better effect to these regulations, may be drawn up by the Superintendent, and when approved by the Inspector shall have full force and effect.

24. Deputy.—During the temporary absence or incapacity of the Superintendent his functions under these regulations may be exercised by the manager or such other officer as the Minister directs.
