=Urgency Orders.=--Where it is urgent that an alleged lunatic (not
a pauper) must be put under restraint as soon as possible, he may
be received upon an _urgency order_, without petitioning a Judicial
Authority, accompanied by a _statement of particulars_ and _one
medical certificate_. The order should be made by the husband, wife,
or a relative of the alleged lunatic; if this be not possible, the
reasons must be stated. It may be signed before or after the medical
certificate, and before or after a petition order has been made.
If before, it must be noted in the petition; if after, a copy must
accompany the petition. No person may sign an urgency order if under
twenty-one years of age, and must have seen the alleged lunatic within
two days before the date of the order.
