ment Act, "as to regulations, appointments, and
prohibitory and other declarations made by Super-
intendents of Provinces, in pursuance of any powers
delegated under the powers of delegation contained

Governor in Council is authorized to delegate.

virtue of such powers in me vested, do hereby pro-
claim and declare, that after the date of the pub-
lication hereof in the New Zealand Gazette, the

Colony of Victoria, of New South Wales, of Queens-
land, of South Australia, and Western Australia, as

well as the Colony of Tasmania, and the Colony of the
Cape of Good Hope, shall be deemed to be infected
districts within the meaning of the said Acts; and I
do further proclaim and declare the following regu-
lations for prohibiting the. importation of cattle into
the Province of Canterbury from such districts, and
for the landing or driving of such cattle, and for the
destroying of cattle imported, landed, or driven con-
trary to these regulations :—

   or any of the said infected districts into the Province
   of Canterbury, unless upon quarantine ground, and
   after having obtained from an inspector of cattle a
   quarantine certificate, he shall be liable to a penalty
   of fifty pounds for every head of cattle so imported
   into the Province of Canterbury.

2. If any person shall land or cause to be landed,
   or assist in landing any cattle coming from either of
   the said infected districts in or upon any part of the
   Province of Canterbury, unless upon a quarantine
   ground, and after having obtained a quarantine
   certificate, he shall be liable to a penalty of fifty
   pounds for every head of cattle so landed.

3. It shall be lawful for and the duty of any
   inspector of cattle or police constable to destroy or
   cause to be destroyed any diseased cattle which shall
   be imported or landed contrary to these regulations.

4. If any person shall wilfully impede or obstruct
   any inspector of cattle or any police constable acting
   under the authority of these regulations, every person
   so offending may be taken before two Justices of the
