REPUBLISHED in pursuance of Diseased Cattle
Acts.

PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Diseased Cattle Act, 1861," it is
enacted that the Governor in Council may, by
warrant under his hand, from time to time, delegate
to the Superintendent of any Province or any other
person within the said Colony, all or any of the
powers vested in the Governor in Council by the said
Act, subject to such regulations as he may think fit,
and from time to time to rescind such delegation:

And whereas by an Order in Council dated the
third day of February, one thousand eight hundred
and sixty-nine, His Excellency Sir George Ferguson
Bowen, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand,
and with the advice of the Executive Council of
the said Colony, did hereby delegate to me Conrad
Hoos, Chairman of the County Council of the County
of Westland, the several powers vested in him by the
second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth and tenth sections
of the said Act, subject to be rescinded as in the said
Act provided, and subject to the regulations issued
by the Governor on the eighteenth day of September,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, and to
any other regulations to be from time to time duly
made:

And whereas it has been made to appear to me that
it is necessary to revoke the seventh clause of the
regulations made under and in pursuance of the
powers delegated to me under "The Diseased Cattle
Acts," published in the County of Westland Gazette,
No. 4, of the 2nd of February, 1870, and to make
other provisions in lieu thereof: Now therefore, I,
Conrad Hoos, Chairman of the County Council of
Westland, in pursuance of the powers in that behalf
vested in me, do hereby revoke the aforesaid regula-
tion, and do make the following one in lieu thereof:--

All owners or persons having the custody, care, or
possession of any cattle within the said infected
district shall, within fourteen days from the 10th day
of July next, give a notice in writing, to the Inspector
of Cattle for the County of Westland, containing the
number of such cattle, the particulars as nearly as
can be of the place or places where such cattle are
kept or are, the colour and brands separately of each
beast; and if such owners or persons should lose any
such cattle by death, such owner or person shall
immediately give notice, in writing, to the Inspector
of Cattle aforesaid, and such notice shall contain the
colour and brand of each beast; and any person
purchasing, or receiving into their custody, care, or
possession, any cattle, shall immediately give notice,
in writing, to the Inspector of Cattle aforesaid,
stating the name of the person from whom purchased
or obtained, and the description, colour, and brand
of each beast separately; and if such owners or
persons shall neglect or refuse to obey this Regula-
tion, they shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding
ten pounds.

This Proclamation shall take effect on and after
the day next after publication in the New Zealand
Gazette.

Given under my hand, at Hokitika, this ninth
day of June, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy.
C. Hoos.

Assented to.
G. F. BOWEN, Governor,
8th August, 1870.
