From any order so entered by the board of trustees of mental institutions, the director or the inmate or guardian or parent or next of kin, shall, within thirty days after the date of such order, have the right of a review thereof by the chancery court of the county in which the said institution is located. Such review may be obtained by giving notice thereof in writing to any member of the said board and to the other parties to the said proceedings, whereupon the said director shall forthwith cause a copy of the petition, notice, evidence, and orders of said board certified by the chairman or in his absence by any other member thereof, to the clerk of said chancery court, who shall file the same and docket the cause to be heard and determined by the said court or the judge in vacation as soon thereafter as may be practicable. The said chancery court, or judge thereof, in determining such review may consider the record of the proceedings before the said board, including the evidence therein appearing, together with such other legal evidence as the said court may consider pertinent and proper that may be offered to the said court by any party to the appeal, or which the court on its own motion may require to be produced.
