PROCLAMATION.

By His Excellency Sir GEORGE FERGUSON BOWEN,
Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished
Order of Saint Michael and Saint George,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over
the Colony of Victoria and its Dependencies,
and Vice-Admiral of the same, &c., &c., &c.

WHEREAS by an Act of the Parliament of Victoria,
passed in the thirty-first year of Her Majesty's reign
(31 Vict. No. 310), intituled "An Act to amend the
Laws relating to or affecting Public Health," it is
amongst other things enacted that the Governor in
Council may from time to time make, alter, or vary,
and may revoke, such orders as may seem to be
necessary for the purpose of prohibiting or regulating
the introduction into Victoria, from any country or
colony, or part of a country or colony (in which
respectively any disease in sheep, cattle, horses, swine,
or other animals of the same or any other kind or
kinds whatsoever, is known to exist), of all sheep,
cattle, horses, swine, or other animals of the same or
any other kind or kinds whatsoever; or of meat, skins,
hides, horns, hoofs, or other parts of any animals; or
of hay, straw, fodder, or other articles likely to propa-
gate amongst men or other animals any infectious
or contagious disease whatsoever; And whereas at
the Intercolonial Conference held at Sydney in the
present year it was agreed to prohibit, for a period
of two years from and after the publication of a notice
in the London Times, the landing of cattle, sheep,
and pigs from any places beyond the limits of the
Australasian Colonies in any of the Colonies repre-
sented at such Conference: And whereas the Govern-
ment of New Zealand has not published the prescribed
notice: Now therefore, I, the Governor of Victoria,
with the advice of the Executive Council, do hereby
prohibit the introduction from New Zealand into
Victoria of all cattle, sheep, and pigs, or of meat,
skins, hides, horns, hoofs, or other parts of any animals,
or of hay, straw, fodder, or other articles likely to
propagate the diseases which the said Intercolonial
Conference had it in view to guard against, until such
time as the Government of New Zealand shall have
issued and published such prescribed notice in the
London Times, in accordance with the agreement
adopted at the said Intercolonial Conference.

Given under my hand and the Seal of the
Colony, at Melbourne, this twenty-fourth
day of October, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
three, and in the thirty-seventh year of
Her Majesty's reign.
