Guelphic Order, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of

WHEREAS, by an Ordinance enacted by
the Lieutenant-Governor of New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the
Legislative Council thereof, intituled-
"An Ordinance for regulating the Slaughtering of Cattle in certain places," Session
8, No. 5, it is—for the purpose of regulating the slaughtering of cattle in certain places—amongst other things enacted,
"that it shall be lawful for his Excellency the Governor from time to time to constitute, and
define certain districts for the purpose aforesaid;" And whereas it is thereby further
enacted, "that within any such district, and
after a day to be prescribed by any such Proclamation, no person shall keep a Slaughterhouse, or place for slaughtering cattle intended
for sale, barter, shipping, or exportation, except
such house or place be duly licensed, for that
purpose," and that "if any person shall
slaughter or cause to be slaughtered any cattle
as aforesaid, in any house, or place, within
such district, he shall forfeit and pay the sum
of Five Pounds for every head of Cattle so
slaughtered;" And by the said Ordinance, it
is enacted that the word "Cattle," unless otherwise
expressly stated, shall be taken to include
Horned or Neat Cattle, Sheep, Goats, and
Swine:

And, whereas it is expedient to prevent the
slaughtering of cattle, within certain parts of
the Town of Auckland.

Now, therefore, I, the Lieutenant-Governor,
do by this Proclamation, constitute and define
so much of the Town of Auckland, as is included within the following boundaries, to be
a district for the purposes of the said recited
Ordinance, (that is to say)

"Hobson-street on the west; High-water
mark, Custom-house-street, and high-water
mark till it reaches the strand in Mechanics’
Bay, on the north; the strand and Symonds
street on the east, including Section 9; and
Wakefield and Wellesley-streets on the
south."

And I do hereby further proclaim and declare, that on and after the first day of November, one thousand eight hundred and forty-eight, no such slaughter-house shall be kept, and no such cattle shall be slaughtered, within
such district as aforesaid.

Given under my hand, and issued
under the Public Seal of the
Province of New Ulster, at
(L. S.) Auckland, in the Province
aforesaid, this first day of September, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and
forty-eight.
