The powers conferred on the Board by Section nine of the Act of 1857 shall apply as fully to lunatic wards of poorhouses and training schools for imbecile children as they apply to district 'asylums, and references in that or any other Section of the Lunacy Acts to a house in which a lunatic is kept or detained under an order of the sheriff shall be construed as including references to a house in which a lunatic is kept or detained under sanction of the Board.

Lords Amendment: Leave out the words "and training schools for imbecile children."

Amendment agreed to.
