shall thereupon, if he see fit, apply to the Court for the
settlement of a new scheme.
Application
for Belief.
22. All applications for relief as in-patients or as
out-patients shall be made to the Order Committee,
or any one of them.
Such applications shall state the name, sex, age,
place of residence, condition in life, and state of health
of the applicant, and such other particulars as the
Order Committee shall from time to time direct.
Election of
Patients.
23. The Order Committee, or any one of them
(subject to such regulations not inconsistent with this
scheme, as such Committee shall from time to time
make), shall grant orders for the admission of in-patients
to the said Hospital to the extent of the accommodation
so to be provided as aforesaid, and for the treatment of
out-patients of the said Hospital.
Such orders shall be given to poor persons belonging
to the said parishes on application, provided that
in the case of in-patients a preference shall be given to
those applicants who shall not for the longest period
immediately preceding their application have been in
the receipt of parochial relief. The in-patients' orders,
shall be given so that as far as possible six of the said
twenty-four beds shall be filled by poor persons from
each of the parishes of Saint Paul Covent Garden,
Saint James Westminster, and Saint Clement Danes,
and three of the said twenty-four beds by poor persons
from each of the two remaining parishes : Provided
always that, whilst from the want of applications there
shall be a less number of poor persons from any of the
said parishes in the said Hospital than the proper
number, the Order Committee shall grant in-patients'
orders for the vacant beds to poor persons from the
other parishes, but subsequent applications from the
parish whose beds are so filled by poor persons from
the other parishes shall have a priority over all other
applications.
