 Sib, 
 
 I am directed to inform you that the Inspector of Prisons and Public Charities has called the 
 attention of the Department to the fact that owing to the insufficiency of the papers transmitted with 
 certain applications for the removal from the Connnon Gaols of persons committed thereto as insane 
 and dangerous to be at large, ho has boon prevented from giving to several very urgent cases the 
 prompt consideration they required, as it became necessary to return the papers for correction or com- 
 pletion, or both. It is very obvious that delays due to avoidable causes are, especially in the interests 
 of insane prisoners, extremely undesirable, and I am, therefore, to intimate to you that before trans- 
 mitting an application of the kind referred to you are expected to satisfy yourself : 
 
 let. That it is accompanied by (1) the depositions taken before the committing magistrate or a 
 certified copy of such depositions ; (2) a certified copy of the final Warrant of Committal ; (3) the 
 Schedule No. 2, and (4) the certificates of the Medical Examiners and of the County Judge. 
 2nd. That the name of the prisoner is uniform throughout the papers. 
 
 3rd. That the Warrant of Committal, duly signed and sealed, complies in every respect with Form- 
 D appended to the Statute, and that it shows clearly that due enquiry was made by the committing^ 
 magistrate and that the prisoner waa adjudged to be insane and dangerous to be at large. It is the^ 
 business of the Gaoler on the presentation to him of a Warrant, to satisfy himself that it is sufficientr 
 and if he find it to be defective, to take steps for its amendment if the facts will justify the magistrate 
 in altering it ; otherwise, the prisoner mu aavt to be discharged for want of the necessary legal 
 authority to retain him in custody. Your attention is expressly invited to this requirement, inasmuch 
 as in the majority of instances where it ha.s octurred^ delay in removing insane prisoners has been 
 caused by irregularities in the Warrants under which they were committed. 
 
 4th. That the answers to the Queries are full and satisfactory. Schedule No. 2 cannot be too 
 carefully prepared, because upon the information it contains is largely based the action taken by the 
 Inspector, in the first instance, and, in the second, by the Medical Superintendent of the Asylum to 
 which the patient is transferred, and 
 
 5th. That the certificates of the respective Examiners are properly filled up and signed, and that 
 the printed matter in them is not altered by the elision or substitution of words. The Examiners are 
 of course, at liberty, and, indeed, are desired, to add any remarks upon the case or to state any informa- 
 tion which, in their opinion, will be of value to the Inspector or to the "Medical Superintendent. 
 
 If due attention be paid to the above observations, it ^s believed the Inspector will be in a position 
 to deal promptly with every application upon its receipc at this Department, and that delays hitherto 
 the result of informalities in or of the insufficiency of the papers transmitted, will be obviated. 
 
 Having reference to the discharge, under Section 31 of the Revised Statutes of Ontario, Chaptai^ 
 246, of persons committed as insane, I may add that a report of the factr, with a copy of the Gaol 
 Surgeon's Certificate, should be in all cases forwarded at once to this Department. 
 
 I have the honour to be, 
 Sir, 
 Your obedient .servant,
