"Diseased Cattle Act Amendment Act, 1873."

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 17th October, 1873.

THE attention of importers of stock is especially
called to the following sections of "The Diseased
Cattle Act Amendment Act, 1873."

DANIEL POLLEN.

6. From and after the first day of April, one
   thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, no cattle
   shipped to New Zealand from any foreign district
   shall be landed in New Zealand unless the owner of
   such cattle shall produce to the Cattle Inspector at
   the port or place in New Zealand where the same
   shall arrive, a certificate in writing, signed by a duly
   qualified veterinary surgeon, to the effect that such
   cattle were inspected and examined by him imme-
   diately before shipment, and that they were at the
   time of such examination and shipment free from
   any contagious or infectious disease whatever, and
   which would be likely to propagate amongst men or
   animals any such contagious or infectious disease, or
   any other disease.

7. Every such certificate of inspection and examina-
   tion shall be attested before a Justice of the Peace
   or a notary public.

Every such certificate so attested before a Justice
of the Peace or a notary public as aforesaid shall,
for all purposes, be receivable in the Colony as suffi-
cient evidence of compliance with the provisions of
this Act by any such owner as aforesaid.

8. From and after the passing of this Act, no
   cattle imported from any foreign district shall be
   landed at any port or place in the Colony of New

Zealand except at a port proclaimed to be a port
where cattle may be landed; and such cattle shall
only be landed at such place in such port as the
Local Cattle Board may from time to time appoint.

The Governor may from time to time proclaim
such ports within the Colony as he thinks fit to be
ports at which cattle may be landed; and from and
after the publication of such Proclamation in the
New Zealand Gazette, cattle shall be landed at such
proclaimed port, and at no other port or place.

9. Whenever it shall appear to the Local Cattle
   Board that any such cattle as last aforesaid are
   affected with any disease which is by this Act, or may
   hereafter be, declared to be a disease for the purposes
   of this Act, the Local Cattle Board at the port or
   place where such cattle shall arrive shall cause the
   same to be forthwith destroyed, and the owner
   thereof shall not be entitled to any compensation
   whatsoever for the cattle so destroyed.

Whenever cattle imported from a foreign district
shall be driven or taken to a quarantine ground, or to
any place to be appointed under this Act as a place
to which cattle shall be driven or taken, such cattle
shall be kept therein at the risk and expense of the
owner for such period as may be prescribed by any
regulations to be made in that behalf. And in case
any such disease as aforesaid shall break out amongst
such cattle when in quarantine, or in such place as
aforesaid, the same shall be destroyed by the owner
on being required to do so by the Local Cattle Board,
and such owner shall not be entitled to any compen-
sation whatsoever by reason of such destruction.

Stamp Duty to be paid by Persons entering into the
employment of the General Government and Pro-
vincial Governments and Corporations.

Office of the Commissioner of Stamps,
Wellington, 8th October, 1873.

THE Commissioner of Stamps desires to point out to
Heads of Departments in the General and Pro-
vincial Governments, and also in Municipal Corpora-
tions, that by Section 12 of "The Stamp Duties Act
Amendment Act, 1871," it is provided that every
person, before he shall enter on the duties of his
office or employment, is required to pay the proper
duty in respect thereof to the Commissioner; and no
Warrant or Letter of Appointment shall be issued or
granted by the Responsible Officer of the Depart-
ment to which such office shall be attached, or within
whose control the same may be, until he has satisfied
himself of the payment of such duty.

The Commissioner having been informed of certain
cases in which Officers have been promoted from one
branch of the Service to another without proper
Letters or Warrants of Appointment, and also of
cases where Letters of Appointment had been issued
without previous payment of the Stamp Duty, would
draw attention to the circumstance that the appointees
may thereby become liable to the penalties in the
Statute for unstamped documents.

Heads of Departments are also informed that while
no Stamp Duty is exigible on ordinary additions or
increases to salaries, in every case where promotion
takes place, duty is chargeable on any augmentation
to salary.

By order of the Commissioner.

E. BRANDON.
