By the Honourable John Hyde Harris,
Esquire, Superintendent of the said
Province.

WHEREAS by Section 9 of the
“Diseased Cattle Act, 1861,” passed
by the General Assembly of New Zealand, it
is enacted, that if at any time it shall be made
to appear to the Governor that any infectious
or contagious disease has broken out in any
district out of the Colony, it shall be lawful
for the Governor, by order in Council, to
declare that such district is infected within
the meaning of the Act, and from time to
time to make such regulations, as to him
shall seem fit, for prohibiting the importa-
tion of cattle into the colony from such district,
and the landing or driving of such cattle,
and for destroying cattle imported, landed,
or driven, contrary to such regulations:
And WHEREAS, by section 14 of the same
Act, it is enacted that the Governor in
Council may, by warrant under his hand,
from time to time, delegate to the Superin-
tendent of any Province within the Colony,
all or any of the powers vested in the Gov-
ernor or Governor in Council by the said
Act: And WHEREAS the Governor in Coun-

to me, JOHN HYDE HARRIS, so long as I
shall hold the office of Superintendent of the
Province of Otago, the several powers vested
in the Governor by the second, fourth, fifth,
seventh, ninth, and tenth sections of the said
Act: And WHEREAS a Proclamation was
issued by the Superintendent of the said
Province of Otago, under the public seal of
the said Province, upon the twentieth day of

me that a certain infectious or contagious dis-
ease has broken out amongst cattle in the
district of Gipps Land aforesaid: Now

behalf, do hereby rescind the aforesaid Pro-
clamation of the twentieth day of September,
1862, so far as relates to the exception there-
in contained in favor of Port Albert, in
Gipps Land, and do hereby proclaim and
declare that from and after the date hereof,
Port Albert, in Gipps Land, shall be deemed
an infected district, place, or port, within
the meaning and for the purposes of the
above-mentioned Act, and that no cattle,
from and after the date hereof, until further
