PROCLAMATION,
Prohibiting the Importation of Cattle from
Port Albert, in Gipps Land, into the
Province of Otago.

By the Honorable JOHN HYDE

tendent of the said Province.

WHEREAS by section 9 of the "Diseased
Cattle Act, 1861," passed by the Gene-
ral Assembly of New Zealand, it is enacted,
that if at any time it shall be made to appear
to the Governor that any infectious or contagious
disease has broken out in any district out of the
Colony, it shall be lawful for the Governor, by
order in Council, to declare that such district is
infected within the meaning of the Act, and
from time to time to make such regulations as
to him shall seem fit for prohibiting the impor-
tation of cattle into the colony from such dis-
trict, and the landing or driving of such cattle,
and for destroying cattle imported, landed, or
driven, contrary to such regulations. AND
WHEREAS, by section 14 of the same Act, it is
enacted that the Governor in Council may, by
warrant under his hand, from time to time,
delegate to the Superintendent of any Province
within the Colony, all or any of the powers
vested in the Governor or Governor in Council
by the said Act: AND WHEREAS the Governor
in Council hath, by warrant under his hand,
delegated to me, JOHN HYDE HARRIS, so long
as I shall hold the office of Superintendent of
the Province of Otago, the several powers ves-
ted in the Governor by the second, fourth, fifth,
seventh, ninth, and tenth sections of the said
Act: AND WHEREAS a Proclamation was
issued by the Superintendent of the said Pro-
vince of Otago, under the public seal of the said
Province, upon the twentieth day of September
last, admitting cattle from Port Albert, in Gipps
Land, which it is expedient partially to rescind
to the intent that this Proclamation may have
full force and effect: AND WHEREAS it has
been made to appear to me that a certain
infectious or contagious disease has broken out
amongst cattle in the district of Gipps Land
aforesaid: Now therefore I, the said JOHN
HYDE HARRIS, by virtue of the powers vested
in me in this behalf, do hereby rescind the
aforesaid Proclamation of the 20th day of
September, 1862, so far as relates to the excep-
tion therein contained in favor of Port Albert
in Gipps Land, and do hereby proclaim and
declare, that from and after the date hereof, Port
Albert in Gipps Land, shall be deemed an infected
District, place, or port, within the meaning and
for the purposes of the above-mentioned Act,
and that no cattle from and after the date
hereof, until further notice, shall be permitted
to be imported into the Province of Otago
from Port Albert in Gipps Land.

Given under my hand, and issued
under the Public Seal of the
Province of Otago, at Dun-
