prohibitory or other declarations made and published
by the Governor under the authority of "The
Diseased Cattle Act, 1861," or of this Act, 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 said
Act: And whereas by section five of the said Amend-
ment Act, "as to regulations, appointments, and pro-
hibitory and other declarations made by Superin-
tendents of Provinces in pursuance of any powers
delegated under the powers of delegation contained
in the said Act, or this Act, the power of annulling,
making void, or altering or varying and making
anew, any such regulations, appointments, or pro-
hibitory or other declarations vested in the Governor
by this Act, may from time to time be delegated by
the Governor in Council, by warrant under his hand,
to the Superintendent of any Province:"

And whereas the said Governor hath, with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of New
Zealand, delegated to William Rolleston, Esquire, so
long as he shall hold the office of Superintendent of
the Province of Canterbury, all the powers which by
the said fifth section of the said Amendment Act the
Governor in Council is authorized so to delegate:"

And whereas I, the said William Rolleston, by a
Proclamation dated the sixth day of November,
1868, and published in the New Zealand Gazette
on the eleventh day of November, 1868, did make
certain regulations for the destruction of diseased
cattle within the districts therein declared to be
infected, and for the preventing the further spread
of disease: And whereas it is expedient to annul
the said regulations, and to make others in lieu
thereof:

Now therefore I, the said William Rolleston, do
hereby annul the said Regulations, and I do hereby
make the following regulations for the destruction
of diseased cattle within the said infected districts,
and for preventing the further spread of disease:—

I. If any Inspector appointed under "The Dis-
eased Cattle Act, 1861," or "The Diseased Cattle
Act Amendment Act, 1865," shall at any time have
reasonable grounds to suspect that any cattle within
any of the infected districts above referred to are
infected with pleuro-pneumonia, it shall be his duty,
and he is hereby authorized forthwith, or as soon as
he conveniently can, to proceed to and enter into
and upon the place, whether enclosed or otherwise,
where such cattle are, or are supposed by him to be,
and by inspecting such cattle, or in any other
manner, shall satisfy himself whether such cattle, or
any of them, are infected, or may be reasonably
suspected to be infected, with pleuro-pneumonia, or
whether the same are free from pleuro-pneumonia.

II. If any such Inspector shall be satisfied that
such cattle, or any of them, are actually infected
with pleuro-pneumonia, he shall forthwith give to
the owner, or to the person having the custody,
charge, or possession of the said cattle, notice of
which of the said cattle he deems actually infected
with such disease; and such owner or person afore-
said shall, within twenty-four hours after such
notice, destroy the cattle so deemed infected, and
shall forthwith bury four feet under ground, or burn
the carcases of the cattle so destroyed; and if the
owner or person having the custody or possession of
the cattle deemed by the Inspector to be infected
cannot readily be found, or if such owner or person
neglect to destroy the cattle deemed to be infected
after the receipt of the notice aforesaid, any In-
spector for the said infected districts may seize and
destroy, or cause to be seized and destroyed, such
cattle so deemed infected.

III. If any owner of cattle, or person having the
custody or charge of cattle, shall, after having
received such notice as aforesaid, neglect or refuse
to destroy the same, or any of them, within twenty-
four hours after such notice, such owner or person
aforesaid shall be liable to a penalty of fifty pounds
for every head of cattle which he shall have neglected
or refused to destroy.

IV. If any owner of cattle which any such In-
spector as aforesaid has notified to be infected, or if
any person having the custody, care, or possession
of any such cattle shall, after the same or any of
them have been destroyed, neglect or refuse to bury
four feet under ground, or burn the carcases thereof,
within twenty-four hours after the destruction
thereof, such owner or person aforesaid shall be
liable to a penalty of ten pounds for every carcase
which he shall neglect or refuse to bury or burn.

V. If any Inspector, appointed as aforesaid, shall
suspect that any cattle within any of the said in-
fected districts are infected with pleuro-pneumonia,
but shall not be satisfied that such cattle are actually
infected, he may, if he thinks fit, give to the owner,
or the person having custody, charge, or possession
of such cattle, notice in writing of what cattle he
suspects to be infected with pleuro-pneumonia, and
shall, in and by such notice, order and require such
owner, or person having the custody, charge, or
possession of such cattle, to drive, or cause to be
driven, the cattle mentioned in the said notice to
such place within the infected district as such
Inspector shall think fit, and such Inspector may, in
and by such notice, direct and fix by what roads and
route the said cattle shall be driven; and if any
person, being the owner of any cattle, or having in
his custody, care, or possession, any cattle within
the said infected districts, shall, after the expiration
of forty-eight hours after such last-mentioned notice
has been served on him, or left at his usual place of
business or residence, neglect or refuse to drive, or
cause to be driven, the cattle mentioned in the said
notice to the place and by the roads and route
directed and fixed on by the said notice, such person
shall be liable to a penalty of ten pounds for every
head of cattle included in such last-mentioned notice;
and after the expiration of the said period of forty-
eight hours it shall be lawful for any such Inspector,
if such owner or person as aforesaid shall neglect
or refuse to obey such order, to seize and take into
his possession the cattle included in such notice, and
drive, or cause to be driven, the said cattle to the
place and by the roads and route mentioned and
fixed in the said notice.

VI. The Inspectors of Diseased Cattle under the
said Acts shall forthwith cause to be publicly posted
or exhibited, at and about all the main thoroughfares
leading into the said infected districts, notices that
the said infected districts have been proclaimed and
declared infected.

VII. If any person shall drive or remove, or cause
to be driven or removed, or assist in driving or
removing, any cattle out from any of the said
infected districts, such person shall be liable to a
penalty of fifty pounds for every such head of cattle
so driven out or removed from any of the said
infected districts; and if any cattle stray out or
from any of the said infected districts into a district
not proclaimed to be infected, the owner or person
having the care or possession of such cattle shall be
liable to a penalty of ten pounds for every head of
cattle which shall have so strayed out of such
district.

VIII. It shall be lawful for any Inspector ap-
pointed as aforesaid, or any Police Constable, having
any reasonable grounds to suspect that any cattle, or
any carcase or carcases, or any portion of any
carcase or carcases of any cattle, are about to be
driven or removed out from any of the said infected
