him under any of the powers of delegation
contained in " The Diseased Cattle Act,

the said first mentioned Act it is provided
that all Orders in Council, and all regula-

authority of the said Act, or the Act now in
recital, shall be published in the New Zealand
Gazette, and all such Orders in Council and

such day, being a day subsequent to the
first publication thereof in such Gazette, as
shall be prescribed in that behalf by the
Governor in such Orders and regulations
respectively, and not before. And that it
shall be lawful for the Governor, if he shall
deem it expedient so to do, to direct that all
Orders in Council and regulations so made
by him under the authority of the said Acts,
shall be published in any one or more of the
Government Gazettes of the Provinces
within the Colony, as well as in the New
Zealand Gazette as aforesaid, but the publi-
cation thereof in any Provincial Government
Gazette shall not be necessary, nor shall the
omission of such publication in any Pro-
vincial Gazette invalidate any such Orders
or regulations.

And whereas William Rolleston, Esquire,
Superintendent of the Province of Canter-
bury, by virtue of the powers to him dele-
gated by the Governor, did by proclamation
dated the ninth day of June last, and pub-

of Tasmania, and the Colony of the Cape of
Good Hope, should be deemed to be infected
districts within the meaning of the said Acts;
and did also proclaim and declare the regu-
lations contained in the said proclamation
for prohibiting the importation of cattle into
the Province of Canterbury from such dis-
tricts, and for the landing or driving of
such cattle, and for the destroying of cattle
imported, landed, or driven contrary to the
said regulations. And whereas it is expe-
dient that the said regulations should be
altered and varied in certain respects: Now
therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
exercise and pursuance of all powers and
authorities vested in him in this behalf, and
with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of New Zealand, doth hereby order
that the said regulations shall be altered and
varied in manner hereinafter appearing, that

said regulations, in any of the cases therein
respectively mentioned, shall for every such
offence be liable to a penalty of any sum not
being less than five pounds and not

And in further pursuance and exercise of
the powers vested in him as aforesaid, His

like advice and consent as aforesaid, doth
hereby further order that this present Order
in Council shall be published in the Govern-
ment Gazette of the Province of Canterbury,
