Inquiry by legal visitors may be directed.

22. [The High Court] may at any time, or from time to time, direct the
legal visitors or any of them to inquire and report to [it] whether they or he
are or is of opinion that the property of any person alleged to be of unsound
mind or detained or taken charge of as of unsound mind but not yet found or
declared to be a lunatic is not duly protected, or that the income thereof is
not duly applied for his benefit; and if the said legal visitors or visitor so
directed by [the High Court] shall report that they or he are or is of opinion
that the property of the person alleged to be of unsound mind or detained or
taken charge of as of unsound mind, but not yet found or declared to be
lunatic, is not duly protected, or that the income thereof is not duly applied
for his benefit, or to the same effect, such report shall be filed in [the
Office of Care and Protection] in such manner and such order may be made and
proceedings taken thereon, and all inquiries, declarations, and proceedings to
be had thereon shall have such force and effect as has been herein-before
enacted in relation to reports to be made by the medical visitors, or one of
them, or the orders and proceedings to be made and had thereupon.
