Conditional discharge of criminal lunatics.

1.—(1.) The Lord Lieutenant may, in addition to his power of absolute discharge, also discharge any criminal lunatic conditionally, that is to say, on such conditions as to the duration of such discharge and otherwise as the Lord Lieutenant may think fit.
|
|

(2.) Where a criminal lunatic has been conditionally discharged under this section, a report of his condition shall be made to the Lord Lieutenant by such person, at such times and containing such particulars as may be required by the warrant of discharge or as may from time to time be required by the Lord Lieutenant.

(3.) Where a criminal lunatic has been conditionally discharged under this section, if any of the conditions of such discharge appear to the Lord Lieutenant to have been broken, or if the conditional discharge is revoked, the Lord Lieutenant may by warrant direct him to be taken into custody and conveyed either to the central asylum for criminal lunatics or to the asylum in which he was detained previous to such conditional discharge; and he may thereupon be so taken and conveyed in like manner as if he had escaped from such asylum, and shall be received and detained therein as if he had been removed thereto in pursuance of the provisions of the Act under which he was so previously detained.
