REGULATION.

WHEREAS by the Diseases in Stock Acts, 1896 to 1898, it is,
amongst other things, enacted that the Governor in Council
may from time to time, by Order in Council, prohibit or
put restrictions on the importation or introduction of any
stock or any carcase from such places beyond Queensland,
and during such times, as may appear to him expedient:
And whereas the disease called anthrax is known to exist
in the Colony of New Zealand: Now, therefore, His Excel-
lency the Lieutenant-Governor, by and with the advice of
the Executive Council, and in pursuance of the provisions of
the said recited Acts, doth hereby prohibit, for a period of
two years from the date of this order, the importation or
introduction into Queensland of the carcase of any stock
from the Colony of New Zealand, unless the same is accom-
panied by a declaration by the owner thereof and a certi-
ficate of a Government Inspector of Stock declaring and
certifying respectively that such carcase is not affected with
anthrax or any other disease; and such declaration and
certificate shall in respect of hides declare and certify, in
addition to the foregoing particulars, that such hides have
been thoroughly salted and stacked for a period of not less
than seven days.

NOTE.—Under the Diseases in Stock Acts, 1896 to 1898,
the term “carcase” means the carcase of an animal, and
includes part of a carcase, and the meat, bones, hide, skin,
hoofs, horns, offal, or other part of an animal, separately or
otherwise, or any portion thereof.
