Now therefore, His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of New Zealand, doth hereby, in pursuance of the powers that be vested in him by the Acts aforesaid, make and ordain the following Regulations:—

1. The Superintendent of the Province (hereinafter referred to as “the Superintendent”) shall immediately after exercising any of the delegated powers notify the same to the Governor, and shall transmit to the Governor particulars of all appointments and copies of all regulations made by him.

2. The Superintendent shall, as soon as conveniently may be, notify all regulations made by him, to the Colonial Secretary or Chief Secretary of each of the Australasian Colonies, and cause the same to be published in England in the Times newspaper.

3. In the exercise of powers delegated under the ninth section of “The Diseased Cattle Act 1861,” the Superintendent may, either in the first instance or afterwards, from time to time, by Proclamation in the Government Gazette of the Province, except out of any district proclaimed as infected under the said Act any port or place within the limits of such district, and every such excepted port and place shall be deemed not to be within the proclaimed district; and the Superintendent may also from time to time, by Proclamation as aforesaid, rescind any proclamation of an infected district, wholly or as to any part thereof, and also the proclamation of any such exception as aforesaid.

4. In the exercise of powers delegated under the tenth section of “The Diseased Cattle Act 1861,” the Superintendent may prohibit the importation into the Province either by land or by sea, of cattle from any other Province or division of the Colony, or from any particular port or place within the Colony, or across the borders of the Province, or any particular part thereof.

5. In all such last-mentioned cases the Superintendent shall cause notice as speedily as possible of such prohibition to be given to the Superintendent of the Province or Chairman of the County Council of the County from which the importation shall be prohibited, and also to the Governor.

6. The Superintendent may in his discretion suspend or forbear to exercise all or any of the powers delegated to him under the said Act.

7. The Superintendent shall as soon as may be after the commencement of each sitting of the Provincial Council, lay before such Council copies and particulars of all appointments, regulations, acts, and proceedings whatsoever, issued, made, or done by him under the powers delegated under the said Acts.

8. If the Provincial Council shall by resolution declare its dissent from all or any of such appointments, regulations, acts, and proceedings, such resolution shall forthwith be transmitted by the Chairman to the Governor for his consideration.
