THE following Regulations for the Offices
of Inspector of Sheep and Registrar of
Brands, issued by His Honor the Superintendent with the advice of the Executive
Council are published for general information.

For the Provincial Secretary,
T. B. KEELS,
Chief Clerk.

Regulations for the Office of Inspector of
Sheep.

1. The Inspector will appoint some Office
   in Christchurch, at which communications
   may be addressed to him both by the
   public and the Government.

2. He will keep at least one horse in
   good travelling condition.

3. He will, unless otherwise instructed
   by the Government, or unless his official
   duties call for his presence at his
   Office, be constantly engaged in travelling
   from Station to Station, for the purpose of ascertaining the condition, in reference to disease, of all the Sheep within the
   Province.

4. He will so arrange his proceedings as
   to visit the Stations in regular rounds, and
   to make the round of the whole of them as
   frequently as practicable. Should however
   any information reach the Inspector,
   rendering it desirable that the Sheep on a
   particular Station should be inspected
   without delay, he will at once proceed to
   the station, and not wait until he should
   come to it in the ordinary course.

5. Whenever the Inspector may think it
   necessary, for the purpose of satisfying
   himself as to the condition of any sheep,
   that the same should be yarded, he will,
   under the authority of Clause 16 of the
   Ordinance, call upon the owner to yard
   them accordingly.

6. The Inspector will, in every instance
   in which he finds the law to have been
   infringed either in the case of diseased
   Sheep, or of Sheep not branded as required,
   take the necessary steps for enforcing
   the penalties against the offenders.

7. The Inspector will cause notice to be
   circulated of the place or places at which
   he will be prepared to examine sheep about
   to be introduced into the Province by land.
   In the selection of such places, the Inspector
   will, so far as is consistent with an
   efficient inspection, consult the convenience
   of parties driving such sheep. He is,
   however, not bound to examine them at
   any spot which may be selected by the
