PROCLAMATION.
By JOHN PARKIN TAYLOR, Esq., Superinten-
dent of the Province of Southland.
WHEREAS His Excellency the Governor in
Council has been pleased to delegate under
"The Diseased Cattle Act, 1861," to the Superinten-
dent of the Province of Southland, the several
powers vested in the Governor by the second, fourth,
fifth, seventh, ninth, and tenth sections of the said
Act, subject to the Regulations contained in the
Order in Council of 1st October, 1861; and also to
delegate under "The Diseased Cattle Act Amend-
ment Act, 1865," the several powers vested in the
Governor by the fifth section of the said amended
Act.

And whereas by a proclamation given under the
hand of James Alexander Robertson Menzies, Esq.,
as Superintendent of the said Province, dated
26th December, 1862, it was declared that the
Inspector, under the said Act, would not be author-
ized to grant certificates to land in the Province of
Southland, cattle coming from any of the Australian
Colonies.

And whereas it is expedient to make further
provision in that behalf:

Now therefore, I, the said Superintendent, in
virtue of the powers in me vested, do hereby proclaim
and declare that the Inspectors of Cattle in the
Province of Southland, under "The Diseased Cattle
Act, 1861," are, subject to the provisions of the said
Act, hereby authorized to grant certificates to land
in the Province of Southland, cattle shipped in the
Colony of Victoria, provided that he is satisfied that
the same are free from disease, and were not
shipped from a district where infectious disease
shall be known to prevail; and provided more-
over that the master of the vessel on board of which
such cattle shall have been imported, shall deliver to
such Inspector a certificate from the Collector of
Customs, or, if there be no Collector of Customs,
from the Police Magistrate, or from two Justices of
the Peace, at the port or place where such cattle
were shipped, to the effect that the district wherein
such port or place is situate was to the best of his
or their belief and knowledge, free from infectious
disease in cattle at the time of shipment, and that
the cattle shipped were free from any such disease;
and in case the master of any such vessel shall be
unable to produce any such certificate, the said
Inspector of Cattle shall not grant a certificate to
land the cattle on board such vessel until the master
shall have made a declaration in the usual statutory
form before a Resident Magistrate or Justice of the
Peace to the effect that such cattle were shipped at
a port in a district free from such infectious disease
aforesaid, and that such cattle are to the best of his
knowledge and belief free from such infectious disease.

And I do further proclaim and declare that this
proclamation shall take effect on and from the first
