THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

Government Gazette, issued under the Public
Seal of the Province of Otago at Dunedin,
the eighteenth day of January last, I, John
Hyde Harris, Superintendent of the said
Province, 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,
should be deemed infected districts, places,
or ports, within the meaning and for the
purposes of the "Diseased Cattle Act, 1861."
And whereas by another proclamation in
the said Gazette, issued as aforesaid upon the
sixteenth day of February thereafter, I, by
virtue of the said powers, did thereby rescind
the said exceptions, and did proclaim and
declare that from and after the date thereof
Gipps Land and Mornington should be deem-
ed to be infected districts, ports, or places
within the meaning and for the purposes of
the aforesaid Act. And whereas doubts
have arisen whether by the proclamation first
above recited the importation of Cattle from
the Colony of Tasmania into the Province of
Otago was prohibited, and it is expedient to
remove these doubts. Now therefore I the
said John Hyde Harris, by virtue of the
powers delegated to and vested in me in this
behalf, do hereby proclaim and declare that
from and after the date hereof the Colony of
Tasmania and all ports and places therein
shall be deemed infected districts, ports, or
places, within the meaning and for the pur-
poses of the "Diseased Cattle Act, 1861,"
and that no cattle from and after the date
hereof until further notice shall be imported
into the Province of Otago from the Colony
of Tasmania aforesaid.

Given under my hand, and issued under
the Public Seal of the Province of
Otago at Dunedin, this 6th day
of May, 1864.

J. HYDE HARRIS,
Superintendent.
