The following Regulation is to be observed with respect to all Cattle imported into the Province of Nelson, New Zealand, from the Colonies of South Australia and Tasmania, and the District of Twofold Bay, New South Wales:—

Before any Cattle which shall have been shipped from any port or place in the Colonies of South Australia or Tasmania, or in the District of Twofold Bay, in New South Wales, are inspected by any Inspector of Diseased Cattle for the Port or Place in the Province of Nelson at which it is desired to land such Cattle, such Inspector shall require from the Master of the vessel bringing such Cattle a certificate from the Inspector of Cattle, or if there be no such Inspector, then from the Collector of Customs, or if there be no Inspector or Collector of Customs, then from the Police Magistrate or from two Justices of the Peace, at the port or place where such Cattle were last shipped, to the effect that the district wherein such port or place is situated, was, to the best of his or their knowledge or belief, free from infectious disease at the time of shipment, and that the Cattle shipped were clean and free from such disease. And in case the master of any such vessel shall have neglected to procure or be unable to produce such a certificate, the Inspector of Diseased Cattle for the port or place where it is desired to land such Cattle, shall not proceed to inspect the said Cattle, nor grant a certificate of cleanness, nor a quarantine certificate, until such master shall have paid to the Provincial Treasurer a fee of Twenty pounds if the number of Cattle to be inspected shall not exceed twenty, or One pound per head if the number shall exceed twenty, nor until such master shall have made declaration in the usual statutory form of the cleanness of the said Cattle, and of the District from which they were last shipped.
