ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, the
twelfth 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, in-
tituled "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 Superintendent of any Province, under or in
pursuance of any power delegated to him under any
of the powers of delegation contained in "The
Diseased Cattle Act, 1861," aforesaid. And whereas
by the sixth section of "The Diseased Cattle Act
Amendment Act, 1865," aforesaid, it is enacted that
Orders in Council, and all regulations made by the
Governor under the authority of either of the Acts
aforesaid, shall be published in the New Zealand
Gazette, 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
either of the Acts aforesaid, shall be published in
any one or more of the Government Gazettes of the
Provinces 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 order or regulations. And whereas William
Rolleston, Esq., the Superintendent of the Province
of Canterbury, by virtue of the powers to him
delegated by the Governor in that behalf, did, by
proclamation dated the tenth day of June last, and
published in the New Zealand Gazette on the twelfth
day of June last, proclaim and declare all that
portion of the Province of Canterbury in the said
proclamation particularly described, to be an infected
district within the meaning of the said Acts; and
did, by the same proclamation, make the regulations
therein contained, for the destruction of diseased
cattle within the said infected district, and for
preventing the further spread of disease. 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 in 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:—

Instead of the penalty of fifty pounds in the third,
seventh, ninth, tenth, eleventh, thirteenth, and six-
teenth of the said regulations respectively mentioned,
any person offending against the provisions of the
said regulations in any of the cases therein re-
spectively mentioned, and for offence against which
a penalty of fifty pounds is by the said regulations
declared to be imposed, shall, for every such offence,
be liable to a penalty not exceeding fifty pounds and
not being less than five pounds.

The ninth of the said regulations shall be read as
if there had been omitted therefrom the words "may
be taken before two Justices of the Peace and."

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 consent
as aforesaid, doth hereby further order that this pre-
sent Order in Council shall be published in the
Government Gazette of the Province of Canterbury,
and that the said regulations, as altered and varied
hereby, shall take effect from and after the twenty-
fourth day of August, 1868.

FORSTER GORING,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
