PROCLAMATION.
Prohibiting the Importation of Cattle from Gipps
Land and Mornington.

By the Honorable JOHN HYDE
HARRIS, Superintendent of the
Province of Otago.

WHEREAS by Proclamation under my hand,
and issued under the Public Seal of the Pro-
vince of Otago, at Dunedin, the eighteenth
day of January last, and published of that
date in the Provincial Government Gazette, I,
John Hyde Harris, by virtue of the powers
delegated to and vested in me in that behalf,
did thereby Proclaim and Declare that from
and after the date thereof, all the Australian
Ports, with the exception of Gipps Land and
Mornington, in the Colony of Victoria in
Australia, should be deemed infected districts,
places or ports, within the meaning and for
the purposes of the "Diseased Cattle Act,
1861," and that no cattle from and after the
date thereof until further notice, should be
permitted to be imported into the Province
of Otago from any of the said Australian
ports, with the exception of Gipps Land and
Mornington aforesaid:

And whereas it has been made to appear
to me that a certain contagious or infectious
disease has broken out in Gipps Land and
Mornington aforesaid, and it is expedient to
declare that such districts are infected within
the meaning of the said Act, and to prohibit
the importation of cattle into the said Pro-
vince from the said districts:

Now, therefore, I, the said John Hyde
Harris, by virtue of the powers delegated to
and vested in me in this behalf, do hereby
rescind the said exceptions, and do Proclaim
and Declare that from and after the date
hereof Gipps Land and Mornington shall be
deemed infected districts within the meaning
and for the purposes of the above-mentioned
Act.

(L. S.)
Given under my hand, and issued
under the Public Seal of the
Province of Otago, at Dunedin,
this sixteenth day of February,

sixty-four.

PROCLAMATION
Of Regulations under "Diseased Cattle Act,
1861," for destruction of Cattle infected with
the disease called Pleuro-Pneumonia, and for
preventing the further spread of the said
disease in the Province of Otago.

WHEREAS by virtue of the powers delegated
to, and vested in me in that behalf, I, John
Hyde Harris, Superintendent of the Province
of Otago, did by a proclamation published in
the Government Gazette of the said Province,
and dated the fourteenth day of January
last, proclaim and declare a certain district
or portion of the said Province, in the said
proclamation particularly described, to be
an infected district within the meaning and
for the purposes of the "Diseased Cattle
Act, 1861." And whereas, by a certain
other proclamation, dated the sixteenth day
of January last, and published in the said
Gazette, I, by virtue of the powers delegeted
to, and vested in me in that bshalf, did pro-
claim and declare a certain other district or
portion of the said Province, in the said last-
mentioned proclamation particularly de-
scribed, to be an infected district within the
meaning and for the purposes of the said
Act. And whereas, by a certain other pro-
clamation, dated the sixteenth day of Feb-
ruary instant, and published in the said
Gazette, I, by virtue of the powers delegated
to and vested in me in that behalf, did pro-
claim and declare a certain other district or
portion of the said Province, adjoining to the
said first-mentioned district, to be an infected
district within the meaning and for
the purposes of the said Act. And
whereas, by a proclamation dated this
twenty-sixth day of February instant, I, by
virtue of the powers delegated to and vested
in me in that behalf, have proclaimed and
declared a certain other district or portion
of the said Province, therein particularly
described, to be an infected district, within
the meaning and for the purposes of the said
Act. And whereas, by proclamation dated
the eighteenth day of January last, and
published in the said Gazette, I, by virtue of
the powers in me vested in that behalf, did
make, publish, and proclaim certain Regula-
tions therein set forth for the destruction of
Diseased Cattle in the districts by the two
firstly hereinbefore recited proclamations,
dated respectively the fourteenth and six-
teenth days of January last, to be infected
districts, and for prohibiting the removal
and transportation of Cattle out of the said
two last-mentioned infected districts, and
for preventing the further spread of the
disease called Pleuro-Pneumonia. And
whereas, it has seemed to me expedient that
the said Regulations should be revoked, and
that other Regulations should be made in
lieu thereof. Now, therefore, I, John Hyde
Harris, as Superintendent of the said Pro-
vince, by virtue of the powers in me vested
in this behalf, do revoke and cancel the said
Regulations so made, published, and pro-
claimed by me on the eighteenth day or
