SEC. 16. The father, mother, husband, wife, brother, sister, or child of a person alleged to be insane, or the sheriff or any superintendent of the poor, or supervisor of any township, or any peace officer within the county in which the alleged insane person resides or may be, may petition the probate court of said county for an order directing the admission of said person to an asylum or institution for the care of the insane, such petition to contain a statement of the facts upon which the allegation of insanity is based and because of which the application for the order is made. Upon receiving such petition the court shall fix a day for the hearing thereof, and shall appoint two reputable physicians to make the required examination of the alleged insane person, whose certificate shall be filed with the court on or before such hearing. Notice of such petition, and of the time and place of hearing thereon, shall be served personally, at least twenty-four hours before the hearing, upon the person alleged to be insane, and if made by a sheriff or peace officer, also upon the father, mother, husband, wife, or some one of the next of kin, of full age, of such alleged insane person, if there be any such known to be residing within the county, and upon such of said relatives residing outside of the county and within this State as may be ordered by the court, and also upon the person with whom such alleged insane person may reside, or at whose house he may be. This notice may be served in any part of the State. The court to whom the petition is presented may dispense with such personal service or may direct substituted service to be made upon some person to be designated by it. The court shall state in a certificate to be attached to the petition its reason for dispensing with personal service of such notice, and, if substi tuted service is directed, the name of the person to be served therewith. In such cases the court shall appoint a guardian ad litem to represent such insane person upon such hearing, and in other cases it may appoint such guardian ad litem. The court shall also institute an inquest, and take proofs as to the alleged insanity of such person, and fully investigate the facts before making such order, and, if no jury is required, the probate court shall determine the question of the sanity or insanity of such person. If the court shall deem it necessary, or if such alleged insane person, or any relative, or any person with whom he may reside, or at whose house he may be, shall so demand, a jury of twelve freeholders, having the qualifications required of jurors in courts of record, shall be summoned to determine the question of insanity, and whenever a jury is required the court shall proceed to the selection of such jury in the same manner as is provided for the selection of a jury for the condemnation of land for railroad purposes, and such jury shall determine the question of

Such bond and advance payment, together with the order of admission, shall be transmitted by the probate court to the medical superintendent of the asylum. Until such bond and advance payment are delivered to the medical superintendent, the insane person shall be admitted into the asylum only as a public patient.
