Importation of Grape-vine Cuttings allowed; Rooted Vines
and Grapes prohibited.—Notice No. 487.

(L.S.)
JAMES PRENDERGAST,
Administrator of the Government.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by section three of “The Orchard and
Garden Pests Act, 1896,” power is given, amongst other
things, to revoke, either wholly or partially, any Proclama-
tion in force at the coming into operation of the said Act :
And whereas it is expedient to partially revoke a Proclama-
tion now in force which appeared in the Gazette of the
eighteenth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-three, prohibiting the importation of grape-vines,
grape-vine cuttings, and grapes as hereinafter mentioned :

And whereas by section three of the said Act it is also
enacted, among other things, that the Governor may from
time to time, by Proclamation, prohibit, either absolutely or
subject to regulations, the introduction of any plant or other
thing which in his opinion is likely to introduce any disease
into the colony :

Now, therefore, I, James Prendergast, the Administrator
of the Government of the Colony of New Zealand, in
pursuance and exercise of the power and authority vested in
me by the hereinbefore in part recited Act, do hereby par-
tially revoke the said Proclamation hereinbefore mentioned,
so far only as the same relates to the importation of grape-
vine cuttings ; and in further pursuance and exercise of the
said power and authority, and being of opinion that grape-
vine cuttings are likely to introduce the disease known as
phylloxera into the said colony, do hereby proclaim and
declare that the introduction into New Zealand of grape-vine
cuttings from any place beyond the colony shall be, and the
same is hereby, prohibited :

Provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the
introduction from any of the Australian Colonies of fresh
grape-vine cuttings, not being rooted vines, subject to the
following conditions:—

(a.) All grape-vine cuttings introduced into New Zealand
from any such colony shall be accompanied by a certificate in
the form or to the effect hereinafter set forth. Such certi-
ficate shall be that of some officer of the Department of
Agriculture in such colony, or other department performing
functions or duties having relation to viticulture, at the port
of shipment, whose duty it may be to examine or report
upon grape-vines or grape-vine cuttings.

The following shall be the form of such certificate, and the
same may be altered or modified as circumstances require ;
but the possession of such certificate shall not relieve any
person seeking to introduce such vine-cuttings into New
Zealand from any other liabilities he may be subject to
under the provisions of the said Act or any other law affect-
ing the same:—

I, [State name and title], hereby certify that the consign-
ment of [State number] grape-vine cuttings addressed to
[Name and address of consignee], and consigned by [Name and
address of consignor], come from a district in the Colony of
which is free from phylloxera, and [if the fact be
so] that they have been treated in such a manner as to
destroy any insects or eggs should such be present.

Dated at , in the Colony of , this
day of , 18 . [Signature.]

(b.) On production of the above certificate at the office of
an Inspector appointed under the said Act at the port of ar-
rival in New Zealand, such Inspector may, if satisfied that
the certificate applies to the cuttings proposed to be intro-
duced, and that the law is otherwise complied with, allow
such cuttings to be landed and disposed of without further
restriction.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir James
Prendergast, Knight, Chief Justice, Administrator
of the Government in and over Her Majesty's
Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies,
at the Government House, at Wellington; and
issued under the Seal of the said Colony, this
sixth day of July, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven.
