medical attendance. The selectman appointed by the court to investigate the facts in the case of an indigent insane person shall include in his report to it his estimate of the value of the estate of such indigent insane person so far as he can ascertain the same, and the judge making the order of commitment shall note therein the amount of said estate so reported to him. All proceedings in the Court of Probate upon such applications shall be in writing, and lodged and kept in the registry of said Court; and whenever a Court shall pass an order for the admission of any pauper or indigent person to the hospital, it shall record the same and give a certified copy of said order and proceedings to the person by whom such pauper or indigent person is to be taken to the hospital, as the warrant for such taking and commitment, and shall also forthwith transmit a like copy to the governor. In case the Court to which application is made for the commitment of an insane pauper or insane indigent person, shall find that the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane is unable because of an excess of patients to accommodate the person to be committed, such Court may commit such person to such other asylum or hospital as the Court shall in its order mention by name and expressly find to be suitable. In case of a commitment to such other asylum or hospital, the amount to be paid by the State shall be determined by Section 2779, and the balance of the support of the person committed shall be paid by the town, or by the person making the application, as the case may be.

SEC. 2750.
