Proclamation by His Excellency
General Sir Henry Wylie Norman,
Knight Grand Cross of the Most
Honourable Order of the Bath,

WHEREAS by an Act passed in the thirtieth year of
Her Majesty's reign, intituled the Diseased Ani-
mals Act, it is, amongst other things, enacted that it shall be
lawful for the Governor, from time to time, with the advice
of the Executive Council, by Proclamation, to prohibit or
put restrictions upon the introduction or importation of
cattle, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, and other animals,
or of any one or more kind of animals, into the Colony of
Queensland or into any district thereof, from such places
and during such time as may appear necessary, and any
such Proclamation to alter or revoke by a similar Proclama-
tion : And whereas by a Proclamation issued by His Excel-
lency the late Sir Anthony Musgrave, and dated the
twenty-fourth day of November, one thousand eight hundred
and eighty-seven, the introduction into the Colony of
Queensland of sheep from the Colonies of Western Australia
and New Zealand was, for the reason therein stated, pro-
hibited until the said Proclamation should have been
rescinded: And whereas it is now deemed expedient and
necessary to rescind so much of the said Proclamation as
relates to the introduction of sheep into the Colony of
Queensland from the Colony of New Zealand: Now, there-
fore, I, Sir Henry Wylie Norman, the Governor aforesaid,
in pursuance of the provisions of the said Act, and by and
with the advice of the Executive Council, do hereby rescind
and revoke so much of the said Proclamation as relates to
the introduction of sheep from the Colony of New Zealand
into the Colony of Queensland.

Given under my hand and seal, at Government House,
Brisbane, this third day of February, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-three, and in the fifty-sixth year of Her
Majesty's reign.

By command.
