ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, the tenth
day of January, 1867.

Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by “The Customs Regulation Act,
1858,” it is amongst other things enacted that
if any goods enumerated or described in the Table of
Prohibitions contained in the thirty-second section of
the said Act, shall be imported or brought into New
Zealand, then and in every such case such goods shall
be forfeited and shall be destroyed or disposed of as
the Commissioner of Customs may direct.

And whereas in the said Table of Prohibitions of
goods absolutely prohibited to be imported, are included infected cattle, sheep, or other animals, and
hides, skins, horns, hoofs, or any other part of cattle
or other animals which the Governor in Council may
prohibit, in order to prevent any infectious or contagious
distemper or disease.

And whereas an Order in Council, made on the
eleventh day of January last, did absolutely prohibit
the importation from the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, or from any part of the Continent
of Europe, into New Zealand, of any cattle, sheep,
goats, horses, pigs, or poultry, and of hides, skins,
horns, hoofs, and all parts of such animals.

And whereas another Order in Council, made on the
twenty-fourth day of August last, did absolutely
prohibit the importation from the State of Panama,
into New Zealand, of any such animals as aforesaid, or
any parts of such animals.

And whereas it is desirable to amend the first
recited Order in Council, and to repeal the last recited
Order in Council:

Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by and
with the advice of the Executive Council, doth revoke
that part of the first recited Order in Council of the
eleventh day of January last, which relates to the
prohibition of the importation of sheep, goats, horses,
pigs, or poultry, and of hides, skins, horns, hoofs, and
all other parts of those animals, and doth declare that
cattle and all parts of cattle are only prohibited to be
imported, except in those cases in respect of which a
special authority, after due inspection, has been
obtained from the Government for the importation of
such cattle or parts of cattle.

And further, His Excellency the Governor, by and
with the advice of the Executive Council, doth altogether revoke the second recited Order in Council of
the twenty-fourth day of August last, prohibiting the
importation into New Zealand, from the State of
Panama, of certain animals or parts of animals specified
in such Order.

Clerk of the Executive Council.

G. GREY, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, the tenth
day of January, 1867.

Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by “The Diseased Cattle Act Amendment Act, 1865,” it is enacted that the Governor
may, by any Order in Council, from time to time, annul
make or alter and vary and make anew, any Orders in
Council, regulations, appointments, or prohibitory or
other declarations made and published by the Governor,
under the authority of the aforesaid Act, or “The
Diseased Cattle Act 1861.”

And whereas an Order in Council, under the two
aforesaid Acts, was made on the twenty-fourth day of
August last, declaring the State of Panama an infected
district, within the meaning of those Acts, and making
certain regulations respecting the importation of cattle
therefrom.

And whereas it is advisable to annul and make void
the said Order in Council:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, with
the advice and consent of the Executive Council of
New Zealand, doth hereby annul and make void henceforth the aforesaid Order in Council.

FORSTER GORING,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
