IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred on him by the Orchard and Garden Diseases Act, 1908 (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby make the following regulations for the better control and eradication of disease and defining certain powers and functions of Inspectors appointed under the said Act.‡

REGULATIONS.

1. IN these regulations “Inspector” means an Inspector appointed under the said Act.

2. If an Inspector finds the disease known as fire-blight (Bacillus amylovorus) present in a nursery or orchard, or if such disease is known to exist in such proximity to a nursery or orchard as in the opinion of an Inspector to have rendered the infection of such nursery or orchard probable, the Inspector may by notice served on the occupier of such nursery or orchard prohibit the removal therefrom of any plant or portion of a plant of any variety of apple, pear, quince, or crataegus.

3. Such prohibition shall remain in force until withdrawn by notice served on the occupier of the nursery or orchard by an Inspector on being satisfied that the disease has been eradicated and that no risk of infection remains.

4. While such prohibition is in force in respect of any nursery or orchard no person shall take, remove, or send out of such nursery or orchard any plant or portion of a plant of any apple, pear, quince, or crataegus, or, knowing such prohibition to be in force, shall receive any such plant or portion of a plant as aforesaid from such nursery or orchard: Provided that nothing herein contained shall prevent any Inspector from sending, under proper safeguards, specimens of plants out of such nursery or orchard for identification of disease.

5. Every person who does or omits any act in contravention of these regulations commits an offence, and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding £20.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
