Clause 8

Any person admitted to a welfare home, either on his own application or otherwise, may be discharged by the Superintendent to the care of a relative who satisfies the Superintendent of his ability to support or care for the person to be discharged provided that such person undertakes in writing to inform the said Superintendent within twenty-four hours of the cessation of such support and care.

Any person, having undertaken the support or care of a person discharged from a welfare home, who fails to inform the Superintendent of that home in writing within twenty-four hours of his ceasing to support or care for such discharged person, shall be guilty of an offence under this Act, and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two months.
