Executive Council of New Zealand, and in pursuance of the above-recited power and authority, doth hereby make the following additional Quarantine Regulations, to be in force within all the Ports of New Zealand, and doth order that the same shall come into operation and take effect in each Province on and from the date of publication thereof in the Gazette of such Province, and in the County of Westland on and from the day of publication thereof in the County of Westland Gazette.

REGULATIONS.

1. In the event of there being any sickness on board of any vessel arriving from any Port in the Australian Colonies or New Zealand, or in the event of there having been any sickness on board any vessel so arriving during her voyage from any such Australian or New Zealand Port, the Master of such vessel shall hoist the Health Officer’s flag mentioned in the Quarantine Regulations already in force, and otherwise act in the same manner as if such vessel were arriving from a Port not in the Australian Colonies.

2. No vessel which is bound by the foregoing regulation, or by the Quarantine Regulations already in force, to hoist the Health Officer’s flag, is to bring up in the usual anchorage, even in the event of there being delay in communicating with her, from any cause whatsoever; and every vessel so bound to hoist the Health Officer’s flag as aforesaid, which may enter any New Zealand Port by night, shall be brought up clear of the shipping, and the Master of such vessel shall hoist a bright light at the main, in addition to the usual anchor light, as if such vessel were actually in quarantine, until she has been communicated with as provided by the Quarantine Regulations; and the Master shall be in all cases responsible for any breach of this regulation by or on board whether done or caused by his directions or neglect or not.

3. Until such vessel has been communicated with by the Health Officer, or officer acting for him, the Master shall not allow any person to go on board; but in the event of any person going on board, the Master shall keep him or her on board until the Health Officer has declared the vessel clean.

4. No Master or Surgeon of any vessel shall on any pretext give false or evasive answers to any questions put to him relative to the health of the ship by the Health Officer, or by the Harbour Master, Pilot, or other officer of the Port who shall first communicate with such vessel; nor shall any Master or Surgeon fill up the report prescribed by the Quarantine Regulations already in force untruly or incorrectly, or in such a manner as to be calculated to lead the Health Officer, or other officer of the Port acting as Health Officer, to underestimate the seriousness of any sickness which may be, or may have been, on board such vessel.

Forster Goring,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

Note.—Any person offending against any of the above Regulations is subject, by “The Marine Act, 1867,” to a penalty not exceeding fifty pounds.
