PROCLAMATION,
By JAMES A. R. MENZIES, Esquire, Superintendent
of the Province of Southland.

WHEREAS His Excellency the Governor in
Council has been pleased to delegate, under
the "Diseased Cattle Act, 1861," to the Superinten-
dent of the Province of Southland, the several powers
vested in the Governor by the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th,
and 10th Sections of the said Act, subject to the
Regulations contained in the Order in Council of 1st
October, 1861:

And whereas by a proclamation given under my
hand, dated 26th December, 1862, it was declared
that the Inspector, under the said Act, would not be
authorized to grant certificates to land, in the Province
of Southland, Cattle coming from any of the Aus-
tralian Colonies:

And whereas it is expedient to make further pro-
vision in that behalf:

Now, therefore I, the said Superintendent, in virtue
of the powers in me vested, do hereby proclaim and
declare that the Inspectors of Cattle in the Province
of Southland, under the said Ordinance, are hereby
authorized to grant certificates to land, in this Pro-
vince, Cattle shipped in the Colonies of Queensland,
South Australia, and Western Australia, and at the
Ports of Newcastle and Twofold Bay, in the Colony
of New South Wales, provided that the same are free
from disease; and provided moreover that the Master
of the vessel, on board of which such Cattle shall have
been imported, shall deliver to such Inspector a cer-
tificate from the Collector of Customs, or if there be
no Collector of Customs, from the Police Magistrate,
or from two Justices of the Peace, at the Port or place
where such Cattle were shipped, to the effect that the
district wherein such Port or place is situate, was, to
the best of his or their belief and knowledge, free from
infectious disease in Cattle at the time of shipment,
and that the Cattle shipped were free from any such
disease; and in case the Master of any such vessel
shall be unable to produce any such certificate, the
said Inspector of Cattle shall not grant a certificate
to land the Cattle on board such vessel until the
Master shall have made a declaration, in the usual
statutory form, before a Resident Magistrate or Justice
of the Peace, to the effect that such Cattle were shipped
at a Port in a district free from such infectious
disease aforesaid, and that such Cattle are, to the best
of his knowledge and belief, free from such infectious
disease.

Given under my hand, at Invercargill, this tenth
day of September, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty three.

J. A. R. MENZIES,
Superintendent.
