Now therefore, I, William Rolleston, do hereby

published in the New Zealand Gazette on the twenty-
first day of April, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-eight, and I do hereby make the following pro-
clamation in lieu thereof:

Whereas it has been made to appear to me that
the disease called pleuro-pneumonia has broken out
amongst cattle in that portion of the Province of
Canterbury hereinafter described:

Now therefore, I, the said William Rolleston, do
hereby declare all that said portion of the Pro-
vince to be an infected district within the meaning
of the said Act, that is to say, all that portion of the
Province of Canterbury north and east of the line
described as follows, viz:--Commencing at the junc-
tion of the Waimakariri River with the sea; thence
following the left or north bank of that river, not
including the Kaiapoi Island, to the junction of the
Poulter branch; thence up the left bank of the
Poulter to its source; and thence in a direct line to
the summit of the Teremakau Saddle. And I do
hereby make the following regulations for the des-
truction of diseased cattle within the said infected
district, and for preventing the further spread of the
aforesaid disease.

1. If any inspector appointed under these regula-
   tions, or otherwise under "The Diseased Cattle Act,
   1861," or "The Diseased Cattle Act Amendment
   Act, 1865," 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 forthwith, or as soon as he con-
   veniently can, to proceed to and enter in and upon
   the place whether enclosed 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.
