At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-
first day of May, 1895.
Present:
His Excellency the Governor in Council.
WHEREAS by section twenty-three of "The Stock Act,
1893" (hereinafter termed "the said Act"), it is
provided that the Governor may from time to time, by
Order in Council, make, alter, or revoke regulations for
(inter alia) the eradication and prevention of the spread of
disease among stock, and for declaring land or premises
to be an infected place, and for prohibiting or regulating the
entry in or out of such infected place by any persons or
stock, and for declaring infected areas, and otherwise: And
whereas it is expedient to make the regulations hereinafter
set forth:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Colony of New Zealand, in exercise of the powers conferred
by the said Act, and acting with the advice and consent of
the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby make
the regulations set forth in the Schedule hereto, and doth
hereby declare that such regulations shall come into force on
the day of the gazetting hereof, and shall apply to all kinds
of swine as defined by the said Act.

REGULATIONS.

For the purpose of these regulations, —
"Disease" means and includes anthrax, foot-and-mouth
disease, swine-fever, hog-cholera, rinderpest, tuber-
culosis, trichinosis, and any other disease to which
swine are subject or liable:
"Diseased swine" means swine actually suffering from
or affected with disease as above defined:
The terms "fittings," "fodder," "Inspector," "Minis-
ter," "occupier," "owner," and "swine" shall have
the several meanings assigned to them respectively
in section 3 of "The Stock Act, 1893" (hereinafter
referred to as "the said Act").

1. If it appear to any Inspector that disease exists, or has
   within the preceding ninety days existed, among any swine
   or upon any land inspected or examined by him, he shall, in
   addition to notifying the fact to the Chief Inspector, also
   forthwith notify the same to the Minister.
2. Should the Minister be satisfied that such swine are
   diseased, or have during the preceding ninety days been
   diseased, or that disease exists or existed upon any land as
   aforesaid, and that measures for the prevention or spread of
   such disease cannot be effectually taken under section 14 of
   the said Act, or that it is desirable to supplement such
   measures, he may cause steps to be taken to eradicate such
   disease, and may direct that any or all of the following
   things be done, viz. :—
   (a.) That the diseased or infected stock, and any fodder
   or fittings used in connection therewith, or which
   in the opinion of any Inspector may be likely to
   spread or carry disease, be destroyed by the
   owner under supervision of an Inspector:
   (b.) That the owner or occupier of any such land do take
   such steps, whether remedial or precautionary, as
   may be necessary to render such land thoroughly
   free from disease or infection, to the satisfaction of
   any Inspector acting in relation to the premises:
   (c.) That any costs or expenses incurred by an Inspector
   in carrying out any direction as aforesaid may be
   recovered in the name of such Inspector in any
   Court of competent jurisdiction.
3. The Minister, if satisfied of the existence of disease as
   aforesaid, may, by notice in the Gazette, declare any land or
   premises to be an infected place, and may in and by such
   notice, or any subsequent notice or notices, prohibit or regu-
   late according to the circumstances of each case the move-
   ments of any persons or stock into or out of such infected
   place.
   The Minister may also, if satisfied as aforesaid, by notice
   published in the Gazette, declare any land or lands described
   therein, or any district, to be an infected area, from which
   no swine or stock of any kind or kinds, or any particular
   kind specified in such notice, nor any fodder or fittings per-
   taining to stock, may be removed without the written per-
   mission of an Inspector; and by such notice, or by any
   subsequent notice or notices, may direct that such measures,
   either preventive or precautionary, shall be taken by owners
   of stock or occupiers of land within such area as the Minister
   may deem advisable.
4. When satisfied of the fact that disease no longer exists
   or is likely to exist within the said area, or any portion thereof,
   the Minister may, by a notice or notices published as aforesaid,
   declare the said area or portion thereof, and the swine or stock
   therein, as free from disease or infection; and thereupon all
   persons within such area or portion, and the stock therein,
   shall (unless limited or restricted by the terms of such
   notice) be free from the disabilities or restrictions imposed
   by any declaration made or notice previously issued under
   the provisions of clause 3 of these regulations.
5. If any person shall commit a breach of any of these
   regulations, or refuse or neglect to obey the direction of the
   Minister lawfully given hereunder, he shall be liable, on
   conviction, to a penalty of not less than £5 nor more than
   £200.
