THE following Proclamation, issued by His Honor

Diseased Cattle Act," is published for general
information.

E. W. STAFFORD.

PROCLAMATION
Of Regulations under "Diseased Cattle Act, 1861,"
for preventing the spread of the disease called
Pleuro-pneumonia, and for the Destruction of
Cattle infected with such disease.
By His Honor THOMAS DICK, Esq., Superintendent
of the Province of Otago.
WHEREAS by virtue of the powers delegated to and
vested in him in that behalf, John Hyde Harris,

Esquire, the then Superintendent of the Province
of Otago, did, by a proclamation published in the
Government Gazette of the said Province, and dated
the 26th day of February, 1864, make, publish, and
proclaim certain Regulations for the destruction of
diseased cattle in the Infected Districts therein men-
tioned, and for preventing the removal and trans-
portation of cattle out of the said Infected Districts
and for preventing the further spread of the disease
called Pleuro-pneumonia: And whereas, by virtue of
the powers vested in me in that behalf, I did, by a
proclamation published in the said Government Gazette
of the said Province, and dated the 10th day of
October, 1865, make, publish, and proclaim certain
other Regulations, permitting the removal of cattle
from Infected Districts in certain cases: And whereas
it has seemed to me expedient that the said Regula-
tions should be revoked: And whereas, by virtue of
the powers delegated to and vested in me in that
behalf, I did, by a proclamation published in the said
Government Gazette of the said Province, and dated
the 26th day of November, 1866, 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 :"
Now therefore, I, Thomas Dick, Esquire, Superin-
tendent of the Province of Otago, by virtue of the
powers delegated to and vested in me in this behalf,
do hereby revoke and cancel the said Regulations so
made, published and proclaimed, dated the 26th day
of February, 1864, and the 10th day of October,
1865, as aforesaid, and do make, publish and proclaim
the following Regulations, which shall, from and
after the 26th day of December instant, be the
Regulations for the destruction of diseased cattle
within the said Infected District, and for prohibiting
the removal and transportation of cattle out of the
said Infected District, and for preventing the further
spread of the disease called Pleuro-pneumonia (that
is to say)—

Regulations for the Infected District proclaimed by
Proclamation bearing date the 26th day of Novem-
ber last above referred to.

1. If any Inspector appointed under these Regula-
   tions or otherwise under "The Diseased Cattle Act,
   1861," for the Infected District above referred to
   shall at any time have reasonable grounds to suspect
   that any cattle within the Infected District above
   referred to are infected with Pleuro-pneumonia, it
   shall be his duty, and he is hereby authorized forth-
   with, or as soon as he conveniently can, to proceed to
   and enter into and upon the place, whether inclosed
   or otherwise, where such cattle are or are supposed
   by him to be, and by inspecting such cattle, or in any
   other manner shall satisfy himself whether such cattle
   or any of them are infected, or may be reasonably
   suspected to be infected with Pleuro-pneumonia, or
   whether the same are free from Pleuro-pneumonia.
2. If such Inspector shall be satisfied that such
   cattle or any of them are actually infected with Pleuro-
   pneumonia, he shall forthwith give to the owner or
   the person having the custody, charge, or possession
   of the said cattle, notice of which of the said cattle
   he deems actually infected with such disease, and
   such owner or person aforesaid shall within twenty-
   four hours after such notice destroy the cattle so
   deemed infected, and shall forthwith bury four feet
   under ground or burn the carcasses of the cattle so
   destroyed; and if the owner or person having the
   custody or possession of the cattle deemed by the
   Inspector to be infected cannot readily be found, or
   if such owner or person neglect to destroy the cattle
   deemed to be infected after the receipt of the notice
   aforesaid, any Inspector for the said Infected District
