Maryland House of Correction as they shall deem wise and proper, and may
return at the discretion of the Board any prisoners so transferred, and
shall provide for the guarding, transportation, lodging, feeding, clothing
and medical and other care and attention of all prisoners who may be
held at such institution, or make such arrangements therefor as they
may deem adequate or proper, and the Board of Welfare shall have full

said Board to discharge fully the powers herein conferred upon them.

time be imposed or conferred upon them, or any of them, by said Board.
