ing of the said Act, and from time to time to make
such regulations for destroying diseased cattle therein
and for prohibiting the removal or transportation of
cattle from one part of the Colony to another, and
for preventing the further spread of such disease as
to him shall seem fit. And whereas it has been made
to appear to the said Governor that the infectious
disease called pleuro-pneumonia has broken out
amongst cattle in that portion of the Province of

Now therefore, His Excellency Sir George Ferguson

vince of Canterbury north and east of the line

junction 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 the said
Governor also doth hereby make the following regula-
tions for the destruction of diseased cattle and for
prohibiting the removal and transportation of cattle
from the said infected district into the County of
Westland-

1. If any person shall import, drive, or remove, or
   cause to be imported, driven, or removed, or assist in
   driving or removing any cattle from the said infected
   district into the County of Westland, such person
   shall be liable to a penalty of fifty pounds for every
   head of cattle so imported, driven, or removed.

2. It shall be lawful for any inspector of cattle or
   police constable to destroy, or cause to be destroyed,
   any diseased cattle which shall pass into the said
   County of Westland from the said district, contrary
   to these regulations.

3. If any person shall wilfully impede or obstruct
   any inspector, or any police constable acting under
   the authority of these regulations, every person so
   offending shall be liable to a penalty of fifty pounds.

4. These regulations shall take effect from and
   after the date of publication in the New Zealand
