Provincial Licensed Houses
p 24 Alterations in the Law
In the Lunacy Acts Amendment Act 1862, several important provisions affecting houses licensed by justices were introduced.
By the 14th Section: no house can now be licensed for the first time without the notice given by the applicant, and the plan of the house and premises being submitted to the commissioners, who are required to inspect them, and ascertain whether the situation, structure, arrangements, and condition of the premises are suitable for the patients proposed to be received therein; and no license can be granted by the justices until the report of the commissioners has been received and taken into consideration. Neither can the consent of the visitors of any licensed house be given to any addition to, or alteration being made therein, without the plan and description of the same being transmitted to the commissioners, who are to make such inquiries or inspection as they may deem proper, and transmit a report to the clerk of the peace, stating their approval or not of the proposed changes.
By the 16th Section : the commissioners in the metropolitan district and the justices in the provinces, are to give their approval or otherwise of the physician, surgeon, or apothecary required to reside in, or visit houses, the proprietors of which were licensed prior to the Lunacy Act Chapter 100 of 1845.
The 17th Section; makes it penal to receive into any licensed house more than the specified number of patients, or to depart from the
terms of the license as to the sex or class of patients to be received.
