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 necessarily, 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 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
publication of such proclamation in the New Zealand
Gazette, all that portion of the Middle Island of New
Zealand lying to the North of the Hurunui River,
and of a straight line from the source of that river
to the County of Westland, the County of West-
land, and the Provinces of Otago and Southland in
the Middle Island, and the Provinces of Auckland
and Taranaki in the North Island, should be deemed
to be infected districts within the meaning of the Acts
aforesaid; and did further proclaim and declare the
regulations in the said proclamation contained for the
destruction of diseased cattle, and for preventing and
regulating the removal and transportation of cattle
from the said several infected districts, into the
Province of Canterbury. 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,
that is to say:—

Instead of the penalty of fifty pounds in the first
and third of the said regulations respectively men-
tioned, any person offending against 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.

The third 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 in 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
present 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.
