thirty days SIX WEEKS after said Department shall have been so
notified as aforesaid, said Department shall report its findings to the
court or justice then having jurisdiction of the charge against such
person.
If said Department shall find such person insane, or lunatic, he
shall remain in the institution to which he shall have been committed
as aforesaid, or in some other institution to which he may be trans-
ferred on the recommendation of said Department, until he shall be
tried or until the court shall in its discretion give the direction pro-
vided for in Section 9 of this article. If, however, such person shall
be found by said Department to be sane, the court or justice then
having jurisdiction of the charge against such person shall order him
transferred to the jail of the county or the city in which such charge
shall then be pending. In all cases not punishable by death or con-
finement in the penitentiary, the examination provided for in this
section and in Sections 7 and 9 of this article may be made by the
superintendent of any institution for the care of the insane in which
such person may be confined pending trial, instead of by the said
Department of Mental Hygiene, and such superintendent shall within
[three] six weeks of the time when such person shall have been ad-
mitted to such institution make his report in writing to the court
or justice of the peace before whom such charge shall then be pending
at the time of such report, and such further proceedings shall then
be had as if such report had been made by the said Department of
Mental Hygiene.
(b) During either the thirty day or six weeks period for which
any person may be held for examination, under this section, he may
at any time during those periods of confinement question the legality
of his detention by means of the writ of habeas corpus.
(c) Nothing in this section shall apply to the duties of the De-
partment of Welfare of the City of Baltimore.
