6. When any sheep shall have been pro-
   nounced by the inspector to be diseased, it

   and report upon their condition once in every
   three months until he shall certify that they
   are perfectly clean.

7. The inspector shall, as speedily as pos-
   sible, forward to the Provincial Secretary a
   copy of every certificate given by him, in

   which may be selected by the owners them-
   selves, and he will refuse to grant a certifi-
   cate unless such facilities are afforded to him as will
   enable him to pronounce decisively as to the
   condition of the sheep.

9. The inspector will keep a daily journal
   of his proceedings, comprising an account of
   the stations visited by him, with particulars
   of the number, state, &c. of the sheep infected,
   and of any proceeding he may have taken
   thereon.

10. He will furnish a copy of this journal
    every month to the Provincial Secretary.

11. He will also furnish a return monthly
    to the Provincial Secretary in the form A
    hereto annexed, which return shall be forth-
    with published in the ‘Government Gazette.’

12. The inspector will also make a special
    return in the form B hereto annexed every
    three months to the Provincial Secretary for
    publication in the ‘Government Gazette’ of
    all diseased flocks within his district.
