ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington,
the fifth day of August, 1868.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the fourth section of an Act of the
General Assembly of New Zealand, intituled
"The Diseased Cattle Act Amendment Act, 1865,"
it is enacted that the Governor may, by any Order in
Council, from time to time, annul, make void, or
alter, or vary, and make anew any Orders in Council,
regulations, appointments, or prohibitory or other
declarations made and published by the Governor
under the authority of "The Diseased Cattle Act,
1861," or of the Act now in recital, or by the Super-
intendent of any Province, under or in pursuance of
any delegation contained in "The Diseased Cattle Act,
1861." And whereas by the sixth section of the said
first mentioned Act it is provided that all Orders in
Council, and all such Orders in Council and regula-
tions shall take effect from and after such day, being
a day subsequent to the first publication thereof in
such Gazette, as shall be prescribed in that behalf by
the Governor in such Orders and regulations re-
spectively, and not before. And that it shall be
lawful for the Governor, if he shall deem it expedient
so to do, to direct that all Orders in Council and
regulations so made by him under the authority
of the said Acts, shall be published in any one
or more of the Government Gazettes of the Pro-
vinces within the Colony, as well as in the New
Zealand Gazette as aforesaid, but the publication
thereof in any Provincial Government Gazette shall
not be necessary, nor shall the omission of such
publication in any Provincial Gazette invalidate
any such Orders or regulations.

And whereas William Rolleston, Esquire, Superin-
tendent of the Province of Canterbury, by virtue of
the powers to him delegated by the Governor, did
by proclamation dated the ninth day of June last,
and published in the New Zealand Gazette on the
twelfth day of June last, proclaim and declare
that after the date of the publication thereof in the
New Zealand Gazette, the several Colonies of Aus-
tralia (that is to say), the Colony of Victoria, of New
South Wales, of Queensland, of South Australia, and
Western Australia, as well as the Colony of Tas-
mania, and the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope,
should be deemed to be infected districts within the
meaning of the said Acts; and did also proclaim and
declare the regulations contained in the said procla-
mation 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
contrary to the said regulations. And whereas it is
expedient that the said regulations should be altered
and varied in certain respects: Now therefore, His
Excellency the Governor, in exercise and pursuance
of all powers and authorities vested in him in this
behalf, and with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of New Zealand, doth hereby
order that the said regulations shall be altered and
varied in manner hereinafter appearing, that is to
say:—

Instead of the penalty of fifty pounds in the first,
second, and fourth of the said regulations respectively
mentioned, any person offending against the pro-
visions of the said regulations, in any of the cases
therein respectively mentioned, shall for every such
offence be liable to a penalty of any sum not being
less than five pounds and not exceeding fifty pounds.

And in further pursuance and exercise of the
powers vested in him as aforesaid, His Excellency
the Governor, by and with the like advice and con-
sent as aforesaid, doth hereby further order that this
present Order in Council shall be published in the
Government Gazette of the Province of Canterbury,
and shall take effect from and after the eleventh
day of August, 1868.

FORSTER GORING,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
