WHEREAS by the eleventh section of “The Diseased Cattle Act, 1871,” (hereinafter called “the said Act,”) it is, amongst other things, enacted that it shall be lawful for the Governor by Order in Council, at any time after the coming into operation of the said Act, to make general regulations with respect to all cattle whatsoever, and whether imported cattle or not, for all or any of the purposes in the section now in recital mentioned, and generally to make such provisions as shall seem best calculated to prevent the introduction or spread of disease in the colony:

And whereas the said Act was, by a Proclamation made by the Governor thereunder, and published in the New Zealand Gazette, proclaimed to come into force in the said colony on the fourteenth day of August, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-two:

And whereas by the said Act it is further enacted that, in and by such regulations as aforesaid, it shall be lawful for the Governor to prescribe penalties for the breach thereof, as in the said Act mentioned:

And whereas by the third section of the said Act it is enacted, among other things, that the term “cattle” shall for the purposes of the said Act, amongst other things, bear the following meaning :—“Any bull, cow, ox, heifer, and calf;” and by the third section of “The Diseased Cattle Act Amendment Act, 1873,” that the term “cattle” in the said Act mentioned shall, for the purposes thereof, and of the Act now in recital, extend to and include “as well the animals in the said Act mentioned, as also horses, sheep, goats, swine, and such other animals as the Governor in Council shall from time to time declare subject to the said Act and the Act now in recital:”

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, and in exercise and pursuance of all powers and authorities enabling him in this behalf, doth hereby make the following general Regulations, and doth order and declare that the regulations hereby made shall take effect from and after the first day of December next, on which day the same shall come into operation.

REGULATIONS.

1. No person shall kill or destroy any cattle within any part of a district constituted under the said Act that has been declared an infected place or district, unless he shall give twelve hours’ previous notice, to the Cattle Inspector of the district, of the exact time and place when and where he intends so to do.

2. If any person shall kill or destroy any cattle in such place or district so declared infected, without giving such notice as aforesaid, or at a different time or place from that stated in such notice, he shall be liable for each offence to pay a penalty not exceeding ten pounds (£10), to be recovered in the manner provided by the said Act: Provided that any Resident Magistrate, or any two or more Justices of the Peace before whom any such penalty is sought to be recovered, may order a part only of such penalty to be paid, if he or they shall think fit.

3. These regulations shall be deemed applicable to infected places only.

4. Until further order shall be made in that behalf, the above regulations shall be in force only within the district of Kaikoura.
