THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 469

By the Honorable JOHN HYDE HARRIS, Superin-
tendent of the Province of Otago.

WHEREAS by a Proclamation dated the twenty-sixth
day of February last, I, John Hyde Harris, Superin-
tendent of the Province of Otago, by virtue of the
powers delegated to me under the "Diseased Cattle
Act, 1861," did proclaim and declare that from and
after the date of the said Proclamation, and until
further notice, the Province of Southland in the
Colony of New Zealand should be deemed to be and
should be an Infected District within the meaning,
and for the purposes, of the said Act; and I did
thereby order that no Cattle should be imported either
by land or by sea into the said Province of Otago
from the Province of Southland, or should be driven
or brought for any purpose, or by any means what-
ever, from the said Province of Southland into any
part of the said Province of Otago:

And whereas it is expedient that the importation
of Cattle from the said Province of Southland into the
Province of Otago, by way of the Port of Dunedin,
should not be any longer prohibited, and that the
driving of Cattle from the said Province of Southland
into the said Province of Otago, across such parts of
the borders of the said Province of Otago as are now
or shall hereafter be included within any District
declared to be an Infected District, within the mean-
ing of the said Act, should not any longer be pro-
hibited:

Now therefore I, John Hyde Harris, by virtue of
the powers vested in me in this behalf, do hereby
proclaim and declare that I do hereby Rescind the
said Proclamation of the 26th day of February last,
so far as the same prohibits the importation of Cattle
by sea into the Province of Otago by way of the Port
of Dunedin; and also so far as the same prohibits the
driving of Cattle from the said Province of Southland
into the said Province of Otago across those parts of
the borders of the said Province as are now or may
hereafter be included within any District declared to
be an Infected District within the meaning of the
said Act: Provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall be taken to prevent the Inspector of
Cattle appointed under the said Act from inspecting
Cattle on board any vessel in the said Port, imported
from Southland; or from performing any of the
duties of his office in regard to such Cattle, as specified
in the fourth section of the said Act.

Given under my hand and issued under the
Public Seal of the Province of Otago, at
(L.S.) Dunedin, this fifth day of November, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-four.

J. HYDE HARRIS, Superintendent.

By His Honor's Command,
