Whereas, by Section Number X. of the “Diseased Cattle Act 1861,” it was enacted that if at any time it should appear to the Governor that any infectious or contagious disease has broken out amongst cattle in any district of the Colony, it should be lawful for the Governor by Order in Council to declare that such district was infected within the meaning of the Act, and from time to time to make such regulations for destroying diseased cattle therein, and for prohibiting the removal or transportation of cattle from one part of the Colony to another, and for preventing the further spread of such disease as to him should seem fit: And it was by the same Act also enacted that the Governor in Council might by warrant under his hand from time to time delegate to the Superintendent of any Province within the Colony, all or any of the powers vested in the Governor, or Governor in Council, by the said Act, subject to such regulations as he might think fit, and might from time to time rescind such delegation:

And whereas by Proclamation, issued on or about the fourteenth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, certain places were declared infected districts within the meaning and for the purposes of the said Act:
