JOHN HALL.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Sydney, 7th October, 1879.

SIR,—With reference to the Proclamation dated the
3rd of July, 1878 (a copy of which was enclosed in
my predecessor's letter of the 11th of the same
month), renewing for a further term of two years the
prohibition of the importation of stock into this
colony, except from the Australian Colonies, and from
the countries of Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, and
the United States of America, and declaring the
regulations under which cattle and sheep might be
imported from the last-mentioned countries, I have
now the honor to enclose, for the information of your
Government, a copy of a Proclamation published in
the Government Gazette of the 26th of last month,
whereby the prohibition in question is withdrawn so
far as to allow of the importation of stock, subject to
certain precautionary restrictions, from any colony or
country, for the purpose of being exhibited at the
present International Exhibition at Sydney.

I have, &c.,
HENRY PARKES.

The Hon. the Colonial Secretary of
New Zealand, Wellington.

New South Wales, Proclamation by His Excel-
lency the Right Honorable
Lord AUGUSTUS WILLIAM
FREDERICK SPENCER LOFTUS,
Knight Grand Cross of the
Most Honorable Order of the
Bath, a Member of Her
Majesty's Most Honorable
Privy Council, Governor and
Commander-in-Chief of the
Colony of New South Wales
and its Dependencies.

(l.s.)
Augustus Loftus,
Governor.

WHEREAS by a Proclamation dated the 17th day of
March, 1876, issued under the 10th section of the
Act of Parliament of New South Wales, passed in
the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Her present
Majesty, intituled the "Imported Stock Act of
1871," and numbered six, the importation or intro-
duction into this colony of stock, fodder, or fittings
from any colony or country other than the Colonies
of Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania,
and Western Australia, is restricted and absolutely
prohibited for the further period from the 30th day
of June, 1876, to the 30th day of June, 1878 : And
whereas by Proclamation dated the 3rd day of July,
1878, the prohibition hereinbefore mentioned was
continued against the importation of stock from any
colony or country other than from the colonies afore-
said, and from the countries of Great Britain,
Ireland, Canada, and the United States of America,
from which last-mentioned countries and colony
cattle and sheep were admitted into this colony, sub-
ject to the regulations mentioned in the said
Proclamation: And whereas it is considered ex-
pedient to allow stock coming to this colony from
colonies and countries other than the colonies afore-
said, and Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, and the
United States of America, for the purpose of being
exhibited at the International Exhibition, now
holden at Sydney, to be imported into this colony
under proper precautions: Now, therefore, I, the
Right Honorable Lord Augustus William
Frederick Spencer Loftus, the Governor aforesaid,
with the advice of the Executive Council, do, by
this my Proclamation, declare that the prohibition
hereinbefore mentioned is hereby withdrawn with
regard to such stock, and that they may be imported
or introduced into this colony, for the purpose of the
aforesaid Exhibition, subject to all the regulations
contained in the said Proclamation of 3rd July,
1878,* except that any such stock may, after a period
of not less than thirty days from the date of their
going into quarantine, be removed to and remain in
that proclaimed hereunder at the Exhibition afore-
said, while the show of that particular description of
stock lasts, and shall afterwards be returned to the
quarantine to which they were originally taken
when landed, and there remain until the full period
of ninety days shall have expired.

Given under my hand and seal, at Govern-
ment House, Sydney, this nineteenth day
of September, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
nine, and in the forty-third year of Her
Majesty's reign.

By His Excellency's command.

E. A BAKER.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN !
