This patient was dealt with by an order made on the 31st August, 1938, under Section 8 of the Mental Deficiency Act, 1913. The case has now been reviewed under the terms of Section 11 of that Act, and the statutory reports and certificate by the visitors and the medical officer of Brockhall Institution indicate that the girl is feeble-minded and a proper person to be detained in her own interest in an institution. The necessary continuation order will, therefore, be made by the Board of Control, authorising her detention for a further period of one year, at the end of which time her case will again be considered.
