amongst other things, enacted, that it shall be lawful

into any district thereof, from such places, and during
such times as might appear necessary: And whereas

importation of cattle, sheep, and pigs into the Colony
of Queensland, or any district thereof, from all places
beyond the limits of the Australasian Colonies, for
the term of two years from the date of the publication
of the notification hereinbefore referred to in the
