DECLARATION.—I, Joshua Strange Williams, of Christchurch, do hereby solemnly declare that I have made a complete muster of the Sheep in my charge, and that my sheep, being 100 in number, now being at Opawa Farm, have not within four months last past had applied to them any reputed scab-destroying preparation, nor within two months been mixed with any sheep infected with scab or catarrh, and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true.

Declared before me, at Christchurch, this 6th day of October, 1863.

GEORGIA GRACE WYNNE.
