tituled "The Diseased Cattle Act, 1861," it
is enacted that if at any time it shall be made
to appear that any infectious or contagious
disease has broken out amongst cattle in any
district of the Colony, it shall be lawful for
the Governer, by Order in Council, to declare
that such district is infected within the mean-
ing of the said Act, and from time to time to
make such regulations for destroying cattle
therein, and for prohibiting the removal or
transportation of cattle from one part of the
Colony to another, and for preventing the
further spread of such disease:

And whereas by Section 14th of the said
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 all or any of the powers
vested in the Governor or Governor in
