✨ Sheep Inspector Report
95
Office of Inspector of Sheep,
Napier, June 4, 1866.
SIR,—I have the honor to inform you that I have examined all the Flocks in my district, and have much pleasure in reporting them clean and healthy, but not in that good condition, owing to the long drought, that I should wish.
At the desire of your Honor, I examined some of the flocks at Turanga, and regret to state that scab exists to some extent in that district, and although there is a wide range of country (chiefly bush hills) between Poverty Bay and the Northern Boundary of this Province, yet I would beg to suggest to your Honor the desirability of an Inspector of Sheep being appointed for the Northern Boundary, which would be the means of effectually preventing the possibility of Sheep from any infected district being driven, or landed from vessels, into that part of the Province.
In conclusion, I may add that "The Sheep and Scab Amendment Act" still continues to work well.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
GAVIN PEACOCK,
Inspector of Sheep, Northern District.
His Honor the Superintendent,
Napier.

Printer for the time being to such Government.
