PROCLAMATION

Admitting Importation of Cattle into the Province of Otago by the Port of Dunedin, from the Province of Southland; and permitting the Driving of Cattle from Southland into such portions of Otago as are at present, or may hereafter be, declared to be Infected Districts.

By the Honorable John Hyde Harris, Superintendent of the Province of Otago.

WHEREAS by a Proclamation dated the twenty-sixth day of February last, I, John Hyde Harris, Superintendent of the Province of Otago, by virtue of the powers delegated to me under the “Diseased Cattle Act, 1861,” did proclaim and declare that from and after the date of the said Proclamation, and until further notice, the Province of Southland in the Colony of New Zealand should be deemed to be and should be an Infected District within the meaning, and for the purposes, of the said Act; and I did thereby order that no Cattle should be imported either by land or by sea into the said Province of Otago from the Province of Southland, or should be driven or brought for any purpose, or by any means whatever, from the said Province of Southland into any part of the said Province of Otago:

AND WHEREAS it is expedient that the importation of Cattle from the said Province of Southland into the Province of Otago, by way of the Port of Dunedin, should not be any longer prohibited, and that the driving of Cattle from the said Province of Southland into the said Province of Otago, across such parts of the borders of the said Province of Otago as are now or shall hereafter be included within any District declared to be an Infected District within the meaning of the said Act, should not any longer be prohibited:

Now THEREFORE, I, John Hyde Harris, by virtue of the powers vested in me in this behalf, do hereby Rescind the said Proclamation of the 26th day of February last, so far as the same prohibits the importation of Cattle by sea into the Province of Otago by way of the Port of Dunedin; and also so far as the same prohibits the driving of Cattle from the said Province of Southland into the said Province of Otago across those parts of the borders of the said Province as are now or may hereafter be included within any District declared to be an Infected District within the meaning of the said Act: Provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be taken to prevent the Inspector of Cattle appointed under the said Act from inspecting Cattle on board any vessel in the said Port, imported from Southland; or from performing any of the duties of his office in regard to such Cattle, as specified in the fourth section of the said Act.

Given under my hand and issued under the Public Seal of the Province of Otago, at Dunedin, this fifth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four.
