By His Excellency Sir George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of the Colony of Queensland and its dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same, &c., &c.

WHEREAS, by an Act passed in the last Session of Parliament, intituled, “An Act to Prevent the Introduction of Diseased Cattle into the Colony of Queensland and to Check the Progress of Malignant Diseases in Cattle,” it is amongst other things enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, by Proclamation, to prohibit or put restrictions on the introduction or importation of Horned Cattle into the Colony of Queensland, or into any District thereof, from such places, and during such time, as may appear necessary, and any such Proclamation to alter or revoke by a similar Proclamation. And whereas the disease known or described as the Pleuro-Pneumonia has appeared amongst Horned Cattle in certain parts of the neighboring Colony of New South Wales, and it is necessary to take measures to prevent the introduction into this Colony of the said disease: Now, therefore, I Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the Governor aforesaid, with the advice of the Executive Council, do, by this my proclamation, prohibit the introduction or importation into this Colony of any Horned Cattle whatsoever, unless the person or persons in charge of the same shall have first obtained from the Commissioner for Diseases in Cattle, or one of the Inspectors appointed under the provisions of the above recited Act, a Certificate of the effect that the Cattle in his or their charge are not affected with the disease known or described as Pleuro-Pneumonia. And I do hereby also notify and proclaim, that all Horned Cattle which may be introduced or imported into the said Colony from any District of any of the Australian Colonies which shall be known to be, or to have been, infected with the said disease, shall be liable to be seized, and may be forfeited, although such Cattle may not be infected with the said disease, and the Commissioner or any Inspector may at his discretion refuse to give such Certificate in respect of any Cattle coming from any infected district, although the same may not be infected with the said disease. And I do hereby notify and proclaim that, in pursuance of the provisions of the said Act, Inspectors will be stationed at the following townships, namely, Warwick, Goondiwindi, and at or near the junction of the Mooni and Macintyre Rivers; and all persons travelling to this Colony with, or in charge of, Horned Cattle are hereby directed to give timely notice thereof to the said Commissioner, or to some one of such Inspectors. And I do hereby further notify and proclaim that the persons at present severally holding the office of Scab Inspector at the ports of Brisbane, Maryborough, Gladstone, and Rockhampton, shall be the persons to whom notice shall be given, and of and from whom the necessary Certificate that all Horned Cattle arriving at the said ports are not affected as aforesaid shall be obtained.
